The electric grid is on the threshold of a significant change. In the past few years, the picture of the grid has changed dramatically due to the introduction of renewable energy sources, advancements in power electronics, digitalization, and other factors. All these mega-trends are pointing toward a new electrical system based on Direct Current (DC). DC power systems have inherent advantages of no harmonics, no reactive power, and high efficiency, over conventional AC power systems. Hence, DC power systems have become an emerging and promising alternative in various emerging applications, which include distributed energy sources like wind, solar, and Energy Storage Systems (ESS); distribution networks; smart buildings, remote telecom systems; and transport electrification like electric vehicles (EVs) and shipboard. All these applications are designed at different voltages to meet their specific requirements individually because of the lack of standardization. Thus, the factors influencing the DC voltages and system operation needed to be surveyed and analyzed, which include voltage standards, architecture for existing and emerging applications, topologies and control strategies of power electronic interfaces, fault diagnosis and design of the protection system, optimal economical operation, and system reliability.

This groundbreaking new volume presents these topics and trends of DC microgrids, bridging the research gap on DC microgrid architectures, control, and protection challenges to enable wide-scale implementation of energy-efficient DC microgrids. Whether for the veteran engineer or the student, this is a must-have for any library. This book also presents a detailed analysis of DC electrical architectures and power management methods with their technological aspects. Since the late twentieth century, power electronics technology has progressively gained traction. This technology is now practically allowing DC to reclaim ground from AC power. Of course, standard inertia is a huge roadblock, and it may be a long time before DC overtakes AC, but it will happen eventually. DC power distribution is expected to play a vital role in the optimal use of renewable resources as well as the enhancement of electrical system resilience. DC will cause higher-performing smart grids that are more stable and efficient throughout their life cycle while conserving energy and raw materials. In this book, at various stages of power conversion, the authors give a variety of energy models, management tactics, and control rules. They concentrate on renewable energy conversion like solar, energy storage systems, backup generators, and, of course, smart microgrids. Furthermore, the numerous experimental results and associated simulations contribute significantly to the book’s high quality.
