Grid-Integration of Power Converters and AC/DC Microgrids: Modeling, Simulation, and Validation is a guidebook to the effective design, simulation, and control of converters for microgrid systems in the dynamic environment of energy transition. Building steadily from essential concepts to advanced applications, this book leads readers through three key components. First, Part I introduces a critical modeling program, the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP). Part II breaks down the essential strategies for converter modeling and control, and Part III combines these theoretical and practical aspects into a range of real-world scenarios.
Taking a holistic approach that will appeal to any level of experience, this book empowers readers to grasp fundamental concepts, utilize modern modeling software, and apply skills to build the energy networks of the future.
