Microgrid Technology: Fundamentals of Microgrid Design, Operation, and Control
Over dit audioboek
ABOUT THE BOOK
Microgrid Technology is a practical introduction to the engineering ideas used to plan, build, operate, protect, and maintain modern microgrids. It connects distributed generation, battery storage, power electronics, automation, protection, communication, and energy management into one understandable framework.
The book is designed for engineering students, maintenance engineers, electrical professionals, project teams, energy managers, technicians, and readers who want a structured foundation without losing sight of real plant conditions.
Rather than treating a microgrid as a single device, the book explains it as a coordinated electrical system. The point of common coupling, distributed energy resources, critical loads, converters, controllers, protection devices, meters, communication networks, and energy-management logic all have to work together.
Each chapter uses practical language, design checks, operating observations, and engineering examples. The objective is not to prescribe one universal design, but to build the reasoning needed to select an appropriate architecture for a particular site.
The book also emphasizes reliability and safety. A technically efficient microgrid is not successful if it cannot isolate faults, maintain power quality, recover from disturbances, or be operated safely by trained personnel.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Chetan Singh Chauhan is an electrical engineering professional with extensive industrial maintenance experience. His professional interests include electrical maintenance, power systems, energy management, industrial automation, renewable energy, and practical engineering education.
His engineering background includes B.Tech and Diploma-level electrical engineering education, together with management-oriented learning in operations. His work experience has involved preventive maintenance, critical spares, motors, transformers, MCCs, rotating equipment, documentation, energy-management activities, 5S, and continuous-improvement practices.
This book reflects a practical engineering viewpoint: understand the system, identify the failure modes, verify measurements, protect people and equipment, and document decisions so that the installation can be maintained throughout its life.
The author writes technical and educational books intended to make engineering subjects easier to understand and apply. The focus is on clear explanations, useful checklists, and connections between textbook principles and industrial practice.
