This book intends to report the new results of the microgrid in stability analysis, flexible control and optimal operation. The oscillatory stability issue of DC microgrid is explored and further solved. Flexible and stable voltage & frequency control of microgrid is put forward considering the distributed generations or distributed energy storages. The optimal operation of multi-energy is researched in view of economic efficiency and low-carbon development. The results of this book are original from authors who carry out the related research together for a long time, which is a comprehensive summary for authors’ latest research results. The book is likely to be of interest to university researchers, electrical engineers and graduate students in power systems, power electronics, renewable energy and microgrid.

The 12th volume of ToPNoC contains revised and extended versions of a selection of the best workshop papers presented at the 37th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency, Petri Nets 2016, and the 16th International Conference on Application of Concurrency to System Design, ACSD 2016. It also contains one paper submitted directly to ToPNoC. The 9 papers cover a diverse range of topics including model checking and system verification, refinement, and synthesis; foundational work on specific classes of Petri nets; and innovative applications of Petri nets and other models of concurrency. Application areas covered in this volume are: security, service composition, databases, communication protocols, business processes, and distributed systems. Thus, this volume gives a good overview of ongoing research on concurrent systems and Petri nets.
