This book studies the distributed control of microgrids. Microgrids are small-scale
power networks that are exploited to supply local loads in small geographical spans.
Microgrids have various applications such as remote villages, hospitals, universities
and educational institutes, police stations, business and residential buildings,
shipboard power systems, military bases, ships. The microgrid concept, with its
local control and power quality support, potentially allows for reliable and pre-
dictable operation of renewable energy generators and for scalable addition of new
generation and loads.
