Preface

Recent large-scale penetration of distributed renewable energy sources (RES) within the electricity grids has resulted in the need for more supervisory control and operation. This is giving rise to different application scenarios such as microgrids, nanogrids or just islanding of electrical energy systems within a controlled environment. The main bottleneck is that energy systems simply cannot cope with demand–supply mismatch. Therefore, further integration of clean generation such as RES entails increasing levels of complexity not only on the electric power networks but also on the electricity m
