A tangible and applicable concept of distributed generation units in the real world. Distributed Generation Systems closes the information gap between recent research on distributed generation and industrial plants, and provides solutions to their practical problems and limitations. It provides a clear picture of operation principles of distributed generation units, not only focusing on the power system perspective but targeting a specific need of the research community. With worked examples and figures on principal types of Distributed Generation (DG), placing an emphasis on real-world examples, simulations, and illustrations, this book is a useful reference for practitioners. This book uses practical exercises relating to the concepts used in operation and integration of DG units in distribution networks, and helps engineers accurately design systems and reduce the maintenance cost--
