A structured research overview of techniques to manage microgrids with distributed energy resources (DERs). The focus is on coordination on both temporal and spatial scales. Chapters cover mathematical models, sizing and siting of DERs, robust optimisation, distributed coordinated control, and hardware-in-the-loop tests.

The comprehensive reference on synchronous reluctance machines, which offer high power density at low cost and support the electrification in the transport sector. This book, written by top academic and industry experts, covers all topics required to design these machines.

Batteries are vital for storing renewable energy for stationary and mobile applications. Managing batteries requires knowledge of parameters such as charge and power output. State estimation estimates such parameters using measurement and modelling; a process conveyed in this book through experimental results and verification.

Small Wind and Hydrokinetic Turbines is a valuable summary for researchers involved with small wind turbines and SHKT development and deployment, both in academia and industry, for research on powering remote areas, as well as for advanced students and manufacturers of turbines.

This book assesses how global lightning may respond to global climate change, provides thorough coverage of the lightning phenomenon and its interaction with various objects, and covers methods for the effective protection of structures and systems.
