Microgrid (MG) is a small-scale, self-sufficient power system that accommodates various distributed energy resources (DERs), controllable loads, and future distribution systems. Networked microgrids (NMGs) are clusters of MGs, which are physically interconnected and functionally coordinated to enhance distribution systems in terms of economics, resilience, and

It is therefore assumed that the microgrid concept is extended, leading to the development of a new concept - the multi-microgrid. A full exploitation of this concept involves the design of a new control architecture as well as the development of new management tools or the adaptation of existing distribution management systems (DMS) tools.

Nevertheless, the technical challenges associated with the design, operation and control of Microgrids are immense. Equally important is the economic justification of Microgrids considering current electricity market environments and the quantified assessment of their benefits from the view of the various stakeholders involved.
In a refreshingly simple way identifies the enabling technologies for microgrids, that is power electronics, communications, renewable resources. It discusses in simple terms the ability of microgrids to minimize green house gases, help the power grid with load balancing and voltage control and assist power markets.
While it is recognized that participation of the microgrids in power markets is limited by their size, it discusses possible ways that microgrids can market their assets via aggregators and opens the field for other innovations. The book addresses two of the great challenges of microgrids: control and protection.
An hierarchical management architecture is proposed and functions for coordinated voltage/VAR control and coordinated frequency control are analyzed and simulated using realistic distribution net-works. The capability of Microgrids to provide black start services are used to provide restoration guidelines.
Today the microgrid concept has exploded to include a variety of architectures of energy resources into a coordinated energy entity that its value is much greater than the individual components. As a result the complexity of microgrids has increased. It is in this environment of evolution of microgrids that the present book is very welcome.
Discussions about Microgrids started in the early 2000, although their benefits for island and remote, off-grid systems were already generally appreciated. Nowadays, Microgrids are proposed as vital solutions for critical infrastructures, campuses, remote communities, military applications, utilities and communal networks.
