About this ebook

'A Microgrid Cluster Management and Internet-of-Things Framework: Fundamentals, Protocols, and Case Studies' presents an innovative guide to using IoT technologies to maximise renewable energy integration via microgrid clusters. This book begins by breaking down the essential principles of microgrid clusters, covering design, control, and optimization. Having established a thorough grounding, the reader can then immerse themselves in Part II, where the potential of IoT integration to utilize big data analytics for energy efficiency, and to support power management, fault monitoring, and cybersecurity. Careful comparative analysis demonstrates how to select protocols for effective operation and control across scenarios, including wired (Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet), wireless (Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), and IoT protocols (CoAP, MQTT, HTTP). Building a clear framework out of an interdisciplinary opportunity, 'A Microgrid Cluster Management and Internet-of-Things Framework' will support researchers and engineers alike in creating the flexible, renewable grid of the future.• Clearly structured steps from fundamentals of microgrid clusters to complex applications• Technical protocols for data exchange, cybersecurity, and signal conditioning• Dedicated case studies, to support readers taking the next steps in their own work
