Microgrid Technology and Engineering Application

This book is based on the authors’ research and microgrid projects since 2009, and is the most up-to-date resource on the development of microgrid technologies. In addition to basic facility and network design concepts, it covers related subjects including power supply programming and energy optimization, which means it can serve as a single volume reference to the complete microgrid system implementation.

• Provides a systematic introduction to the basic concepts, key technologies, and practical design methods of microgrids
• Covers the theoretical design and implementation of microgrid facilities, including practical operational issues, monitoring and control. The balance of theoretical and applied content will be of real value to engineers who are specifying and design systems in regions with limited experience of microgrid systems
• Includes real-life examples and projects to help implement the content effectively

Prof. Fusheng Li is a Professor in the Division of Water System Safety and Security Studies and the Graduate School of Engineering at Gifu University, Japan. He received his BS degree in Environmental engineering from Lanzhou Jiaotong University of China in 1986, MS degree from Kitami Institute of Technology of Japan in 1994, and PhD degree from the Gifu University of Japan in 1998. Dr. Li is directing the Division of Water Quality Studies that covers the fields from water quality to water and wastewater treatment, and recently to resource and energy recovery from organic waste. The ongoing research projects in his lab include adsorption; membrane filtration, enhanced coagulation, disinfection; biological water and wastewater treatment; vermicomposting treatment of vegetable waste and activated sludge; microbial fuel cell; physicochemical water quality assessment; biological water quality assessment.

Ruisheng Li is a professor of engineering, and is director of the research center at XJ Group Corporation. He has led national, provincial, and ministerial-level projects, and drafted national and industry standards. He holds 30 patents, and has published over 60 papers in international journals. He is the author of four books. His research focusses on intelligent power fields, including smart substations, distributed generation and microgrids, and intelligent distribution networks.
