Residential Microgrids and Rural Electrifications is an easy tool to understand reference and set of approaches for studying multiple aspects of microgrids in residential systems, and rural electrifications. The proposed book contains an overview of microgrids architecture, load assessments, designing of microgrids for residential systems and rural electrifications are presented to help the readers to understand the fundamentals of microgrids. Including many new topics in the field of home automation, application of IoT for microgrids monitoring and control, Electric Vehicles (EVs) charging infrastructure for microgrids in residential systems and rural electrifications, estimating the energy and cost of various combination of energy resource. Many examples and practical case studies are included to enhance and reinforce learning objective goals, stimulating and enhancing the understanding of adopting recent technologies to microgrids. With simulation examples of various combinations of sources using HOMER package, those in engineering research and professions will be able to perform energy and cost of various combinations of energy sources by using this advanced real simulation tools. Features methods for adopting and applying artificial intelligent techniques in microgrids for improving reliabilityAddresses the role of the battery energy storage systems - reliable operation of microgrids, international standards such as IEC and IEEE standards - safe handling techniquesIoT for monitoring and control of microgrids and adopting recent technologies
