Microgrids propose multiple control strategies to operate power electronic converters that interconnect distributed energy resources with electrical power systems. What is needed and addressed in this book is a well-founded mathematical analysis on how to technically and economically optimize microgrids via distributed energy resource integration.

Integration, challenges and optimization of distributed energy resources in Microgrid offers a complete and detailed analysis on multiple aspects related to microgrid performance including key technical elements such as control design, stability analysis, power quality, reliability and resiliency in microgrid operation.

This book offers existing microgrids test system examples which correspond to case studies validate the content. What this book uniquely offers alongside the technical aspects are approaches to unifying the classical unconnected aspects by considering them alongside economic analysis and stability testing. Researchers and engineers in the power and energy sector will find this useful for combined scientific and economical approaches to microgrid integration.
