Book excerpt: Discover the art and science of designing, building, and installing DC microgrid systems with this authoritative resource Introduction to DC Microgrids delivers a comprehensive and concise introduction to the fundamentals of DC microgrid technology. Beginning with the basic concepts of DC systems and their various constituents, the book moves on to a variety of DC architectures and voltage levels of DC microgrid systems. Typical examples, use cases, and applications round out the material to form a practical and accessible resource ideal for students, professionals, and enthusiasts. Accomplished engineers and authors, Vivek Agarwal and Prajof Prabhakaran, offer readers solved numerical examples in every chapter to shore up the theoretical concepts presented. They also discuss different types of power converters used in several roles in DC microgrid systems and common issues faced by those who install and use them. Introduction to DC Microgrids makes a compelling case for the merits of using DC microgrids over AC solutions and includes usable techniques to determine optimal placement of loads and sources. You’ll also learn from: A complete introduction to DC microgrid systems with discussions of a variety of reported architectures and voltage levels A fulsome description of power electronic converters in DC microgrid systems with simulation and experimental results of several different converters An explanation of DC microgrid control methods, including novel control techniques to minimize voltage regulation and improve load sharing accuracy A treatment of power quality and protection of DC microgrids, including a discussion of how to mitigate voltage fluctuation and harmonic issues Perfect for doctoral, graduate, and senior undergraduate students in electrical engineering and related programs, Introduction to DC Microgrids also has a place on the bookshelves of diploma students, technicians who install and implement microgrid systems in the field, and industrial professionals interested in electrical sustainability projects.
