This textbook provides students with an overview of cyber-physical microgrid networks and an in-depth introduction to photovoltaics, batteries, flywheel, supercapacitor, micro-turbines, wind generation, power-electronic interfaces, modeling and stability analysis of microgrids, and cyber-communication networks and security. The text helps upper-level undergraduate and graduate students gain a foundational understanding of microgrids and renewable energy, and offers an introduction to the frontier of theoretical research and practical applications of cyber-physical systems, paving the way to uncover and understand the operational mechanism of cyber-physical microgrids. The book includes examples and test systems throughout for problem-solving and will be an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in power engineering.

Explains the dynamic modeling of typical renewable energy resources Demonstrates the theoretical analysis of microgrid stability and security Includes extensive examples to explain complicated dynamic control and theoretical analysis
