Chapter 6 = Introduction - Overview of Microgrid Projects in Europe - Overview of Microgrid Projects in the USA - Overview of Japanese Microgrid Projects - Overview of Microgrid Projects in China - An Off-Grid Microgrid in Chile. Book description : Microgrids are the most innovative area in the electric power industry today. Future microgrids could exist as energy-balanced cells within existing power distribution grids or stand-alone power networks within small communities. A definitive presentation on all aspects of microgrids, this text examines the operation of microgrids - their control concepts and advanced architectures including multi-microgrids. It takes a logical approach to overview the purpose and the technical aspects of microgrids, discussing the social, economic and environmental benefits to power system operation. The book also presents microgrid design and control issues, including protection and explaining how to implement centralized and decentralized control strategies.
