Microgrid methodologies and applications provides step-by-guide guidance on the implementation of microgrids projects, informed by current scientific principles, emergent technologies such as modern power electronic interfaces, energy storage systems, and multi-vector energy systems, and a close study of recent case studies. Addressing the full end-to-end microgrid project lifecycle, the work encompasses planning, design, operation, control, trading and evaluation, with a significant focus on novel business model, regulation and policy considerations. It explains to readers how they can operationalize robust microgrids which account for engineering reality, uncertainties, and operating constraints. The book delivers precise and rigorous real case studies for project managers, designers, policy and decision makers.

The book has been designed in two parts: methodologies and applications. In the methodologies section, the authors provide step-by-step guidance on implementing projects for postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners. The applications section provides an array of demonstrative ‘case studies which exemplify the use of optimal methods and leading-edge technologies uncovered in the first section.
