This book systematically introduces self-healing control theory for distribution networks, rigorously supported by simulations and applications. It first discusses the functions of a smart grid before explaining how self-healing control theory can be developed and applied. Readers are brought through the related topics of self-healing control system infrastructure, advanced application software, new generation protective relay, monitoring/management systems, implementation issues, and pilot projects. The main purpose of this book is to provide researchers, engineers, and graduate students with a comprehensive understanding of self-healing control technologies as applied to a city grid and how to monitor system performance.
