This book aims to equalize the theoretical involvement with industrial practicality and build a bridge between academia and industry by reducing the mathematical difficulties. Distributed Control and Optimization Technologies in Smart Grid Systems provides an overview of distributed control and distributed optimization theory, followed by specific details on industrial applications to smart grid systems, with a special focus on micro grid systems. Each of the chapters is written and organized with an introductory section tailored to provide the essential background of the theories required. The text includes industrial applications to realistic renewable energy systems problems and illustrates the application of proposed toolsets to control and optimization of smart grid systems. Features Provides a complete introduction on distributed secondary control and tertiary optimization of smart grid systems, especially for islanded microgrid systems. Includes examples with appropriate segments of MATLAB codes for readers to verify, validate, and replicate the results accordingly. Offers industrial applications to realistic renewable energy systems problems. Illustrates the application of proposed toolsets to control and optimization of smart grid systems. Book jacket.
