Modeling, Operation, and Analysis of DC Grids: From High Power DC Transmission to DC Microgrids

Modelling, Operation and Analysis of DC Grids presents a unified vision of direct current grids with core analysis techniques that unite power electronics, power systems, and multiple scales of applications. Sections cover the role of power electronics in DC grids, addressing DC/DC converters, voltage source converters, and MMC converters, current applications modalities across multiple scales, from high power applications such as electric vehicles, DC microgrids and MT-HVDC transmission, through offshore wind farms and supergrids, and a power systems analysis of microgrids that addresses modeling, stationary state analysis, stability estimation, fault analysis, optimal power flow, and stochastic analysis.

Chapters are extensively supported by test systems devised in MATLAB and Simulink.
