IoT Enabled-DC Microgrids: Architecture, Algorithms, Applications, and Technologies

智慧電網是一種新一代的電力網路，預期能透過整合分散式資源來提升其可靠性並減少碳足跡。微電網技術允許整合可再生能源，這些能源有三種模式：交流電（AC）、直流電（DC）或混合模式。隨著直流負載的增加、減少將直流電轉換為交流電時的能量損失的需求，以及直流儲能單元的存在，促進了直流微電網的採用。交通運輸部門的電氣化進一步支持了直流微電網的採用。直流微電網系統由可再生資源、直流儲能元件、直流負載和智能電氣設備組成。由於其效率、可擴展性和成本效益，直流微電網引起了廣泛的關注。直流微電網在為數據中心、住宅區、基站和電動車充電站等多樣化應用供電方面扮演著關鍵角色。

本書涵蓋了直流微電網在孤島模式和並網模式下的設計、控制和管理。重點關注資訊通信技術（ICT）基礎設施、安全性、傳感器、嵌入式系統、機器學習算法、邊緣/雲端計算以及社會經濟影響。
