Microgrid Cyberphysical Systems: Renewable Energy and Plug-in Vehicle Integration

Microgrid Cyberphysical Systems: Renewable Energy and Plug-in Vehicle Integration outlines the fundamental concepts on microgrid system design and control in a cyberphysical framework, focusing on the integration of renewables and EVs into microgrids. Including operational, control and management perspectives, the volume aims to optimize the reliability and economic performance of microgrids, focusing on power quality, storage and voltage and frequency control. The work encompasses generation, transmission, protection and load management under uncertainty and discusses critical drivers in robustness, uncertainty and sustainability management. Focusing on applied implementations, chapters are supported by detailed methods, heavy figurative explication, and comparative and integrative analysis.

Case studies range across chapters. In addition, chapters are supported by representative experimental or test bed validations of proposed algorithms or methods which can be directly applied to reader problems.

• Provides advanced controller methodologies to efficiently optimize the operation of microgrids with high levels of connected renewable generators and electric vehicles
• Explores powerful approaches for the prevention of cyberattacks in microgrid systems
• Addresses design issues for power quality filters suitable for microgrid robustness, uncertainty and sustainability handling
• Includes field-tested methods, heavy case studies and an implementation focus with supporting experimental or test bed validations of proposed algorithms or methods in MATLAB
