INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy emerges as an alternative way of generating clean energy. As a
result, increasing the use of ’green’ energy benefits the global environment, making
it a global concern. This topic relies on a variety of manufacturing and installation
industries for its development. As a solution, continuously small and smart grid energy
systems appear including renewable energy resources, microgenerators, small energy
storage systems, critical and noncritical loads, forming among them a special type of
distributed generation system called the Microgrid.
Thesis Objectives
The main aim of this thesis is to solve problems related to the modeling, control, and
power management of distributed generation (DG) systems based on the Microgrid operating
modes. After an introductive description of the Microgrid paradigm, some of
the control objectives related to DG systems starting from a single DG unit to a number
of interconnected units forming a Microgrid, will be solved. The research methodology
will be developed as follows:
Outline of the Thesis
This thesis is organized in 6 chapters, as follows:
Chapter 2 introduces a survey of past work focusing on distributed generation of
electrical power, powermanagement, control, and modes of operation in flexibleMicrogrids.
The development of this chapter is developed based on the following reference,

Industrial Electronics Handbook, Second edition, Irwin, J. David (ed.).
CONCLUSIONS
Finally in this chapter, the conclusions derived from this dissertation thesis are presented.
The main contributions of this thesis are summarized and their publication in
international conference proceedings and international journal articles will be synthesized.
In addition, general conclusions and the future lines of research proposed from
the thesis will be discussed.
