This textbook provides students with an overview of cyber-physical
microgrid networks and an in-depth introduction to photovoltaics,
batteries, flywheel, supercapacitor, micro-turbines, wind generation,
power-electronic interfaces, modeling and stability analysis of
microgrids, and cyber-communication networks and security. The text
helps upper-level undergraduate and graduate students gain a
foundational understanding of microgrids and renewable energy, and
offers an introduction to the frontier of theoretical research and
practical applications of cyber-physical systems, paving the way to
uncover and understand the operational mechanism of cyber-physical
microgrids. The book includes examples and test systems throughout for
problem-solving and will be an essential resource for students,
researchers, and professionals in power engineering.
