DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a technical event on distributed generation 
 systems and it&#39;s contribution to the future of sophisticated power generat
 ion and distribution. Please find the details of the event below\;\n\nAbst
 ract:\n\nThe power grid is evolving and moving from big power plants based
  on conventional sources to small generation units such as nanogrids and m
 icrogrids based on renewable sources like wind and solar. Distributed gene
 rators based on microgrids can group residential houses\, buildings\, indu
 stry facilities\, and communities. They can communicate with each other or
  to the main grid through energy management systems to maximize efficiency
 \, lower cost and regulate demand. In the case of electrical disturbances\
 , microgrids can be disconnected from the main grid and operate as autonom
 ous systems. In this seminar\, research on microgrids at the Laboratory of
  Control Systems and Mechatronics at Saint Mary&#39;s University will be discu
 ssed and shown through the available experimental systems.\n\nSpeaker:\n\n

 he power grid is evolving and moving from big power plants based on conven
 tional sources to small generation units such as nanogrids and microgrids 
 based on renewable sources like wind and solar. Distributed generators bas
 ed on microgrids can group residential houses\, buildings\, industry facil
 ities\, and communities. They can communicate with each other or to the ma
 in grid through energy management systems to maximize efficiency\, lower c
 ost and regulate demand. In the case of electrical disturbances\, microgri
 ds can be disconnected from the main grid and operate as autonomous system
 s. In this seminar\, research on microgrids at the Laboratory of Control S
