Presenting an optimal energy distribution strategy for microgrids in a
smart grid environment, and featuring a detailed analysis of the
mathematical techniques of convex optimization and online algorithms,
this book provides readers with essential content on how to achieve
multi-objective optimization that takes into consideration power
subscribers, energy providers and grid smoothing in microgrids.
Featuring detailed theoretical proofs and simulation results that
demonstrate and evaluate the correctness and effectiveness of the
algorithm, this text explains step-by-step how the problem can be
reformulated and solved, and how to achieve the distributed online
algorithm on the basis of a centralized offline algorithm. Special
attention is paid to how to apply this algorithm in practical cases and
the possible future trends of the microgrid and smart grid research and
applications. Offering a valuable guide to help researchers and students
better understand the new smart grid, this book will also familiarize
readers with the concept of the microgrid and its relationship with
renewable energy.
