Distributed Cooperative Intelligence In Microgrid Control

This book features state-of-the-art studies on distributed cooperative intelligence techniques in design and implementation of resilient and cooperative control algorithms for microgrids. In order to identify the influence of communication constraints on the reliability and stability operation of microgrids, local controls of an unavailable state signal are calculated in a distributed and cooperative matter according to merely invoked cyber messages. Then, the recent developments in the communication constraints of distributed controlled microgrids are discussed. Specifically, the communication constraints (e.g., time-varying network topology, communication delay, noise disturbance, uncertainties of communication links) on the operation of the distributed controllers and the possible challenges are presented and compared. The selected works can help promote development of ICT and renewable energy technology towardsinterconnectivity, resource sharing, flexibility and high efficiency. Researchers and engineers in the field of electrical engineering and communication engineering can benefit from the book.
