Abstract :
Power electronics and control play a key role in the distributed generation plants, particularly if they are part of complex systems where end-users, electricity distribution and transmission, utility power plants, bi-directional flow of power and information, renewable sources and environmental impacts are strictly integrated. A deep knowledge of the performances of these systems, compared with those of utility plants, is the base for implementing their control and monitoring with the goal of optimizing the energy and environmental performances.
