Doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) constitute some of the larger units met in distributed generation (DG) with significant power control capabilities. These capabilities clearly become more important in modern grids where the aggregation of the individual DG units into larger structures, known as virtual power plant (VPP) concept, is utilized. A special role of DFIGs in the VPP frame is to ...

The placement of autonomic systems’ management functionality into a ubiquitous computing environment is a difficult task due to the lack of systems’ resources and the need for ‘intelligence’ to ensure that the system is selfhealing/organising or configuring. For such systems to adapt to changes to their current environment they need to be able to (re) configure the workflow of their services. I...
