Computational intelligence in smart grids: Case studies

Abstract

This chapter briefly provides an overview of related work on computational intelligence techniques in smart grids. It also reviews two computational intelligence techniques and some of their current applications in solving problems associated with smart grids implementation and deployment. More importantly, two case studies are presented and intensively discussed. These applications include parameter estimation of photovoltaic models and tracking of maximum power point. This chapter also highlights some open research problems and directions for future research work. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Singapore.
