Microgrids use ICT to deliver energy, but they can be open to cyber-attacks. This reference provides an up-to-date framework for resilient control and protection of microgrids. It investigates cyber-attacks on smart grids, discusses vulnerabilities and solutions.

Control circuits are a key element in the operation and performance of power electronics converters. This book describes practical issues related to the design and implementation of these control circuits, and is divided into three parts - analogue control circuits, digital control circuits, and new trends in control circuits.

This book provides researchers with a concise overview of the status of thin-film solar cell technology and characterization. Chapters describe material systems and their properties, and then provide an in-depth look at relevant characterization methods and the learning facilitated by each of these.
