Control Methods and HardwareintheLoop Technologies of Distributed Resources in Modern Power Systems

<p><span>This book investigates the control of distributed resources in modern power systems in detail. It assesses distributed resources potential to enhance the security of modern power systems through demand response (DR). The most important feature of this book is the comprehensive coverage of centralized and distributed control methods, along with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) technologies for DR. The topic has drawn attention from engineers and scientists across many fields, including power system, electrical, control, and thermodynamics engineering. The book takes a holistic approach. It builds a clear framework for distributed resources, highlighting integrated analysis and coordinated optimization in system design and control. It also connects theoretical algorithms with practical validation and application. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students interested in modern power systems, for researchers studying modeling, control, or HIL for frequency, voltage, and power regulation, and for industry professionals working on demand response applications.</span></p>
