"""This book draws from state-of-the-art results of the European Union co-operative research project ""SINGULAR"". It provides comprehensive knowledge centered on the critical challenges of smart grids in insular power systems."" —Professor Kai Strunz, Chair of Sustainable Electric Networks and Sources of Energy, Technical University of Berlin, Germany ""The book is addressing a timely subject, namely the study of insular (islanded) power grids with a predominant energy production from highly volatile energy conversion systems. The methodologies available in the literature for this specific field are well established and, therefore, mature enough for a book publication."" —Mario Paolone, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland ""This book is a comprehensive overview of the challenges that achieving economic efficient and sustainable insular power systems pose. Low inertia small insular systems are an ideal test bed to demonstrate the challenges and solutions to ensure system reliability and security in systems with high penetration of intermittent renewable energy. The book proposes methods and tools for the integration of renewable generation taking advantage of new resources as storage and demand-side management in combination with smart grids. In this context, modelling, simulation and optimization techniques are presented for forecasting, scheduling, and dispatch of generation and demand, allocation of reserves, computation of prices, and network planning."" —Tomás Gómez San Román, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Institute for Research in Technology (IIT), Comillas University, Madrid (Spain) ""The strength of this book is its integrity, namely the fact that gathers a comprehensive knowledge that is currently spread in a large number of research articles. So, it can be very useful for a beginner or even an advanced researched on this specific field."" —Katsaprakakis Dimitris, Wind Energy and Power Plants Synthesis Laboratory, Technological Educational Institute of Crete ""… an excellent overview of several topics that are of key importance for planning of renewable based power systems and insular systems in particular, ranging from generation forecast modelling over different temporal and spatial scales to probabilistic power flows that take into account relevant uncertainties and correlations between the variables under analysis"" —Pierluigi Mancarella, The University of Manchester"
