Microgrid is a best option for configuration of recent model power grids. Microgrids are capable of work in parallel with the existing grid as well as off grid as isolated mode. The microgrid enables the grid connection as either AC grid or DC grid and it provides connections of variable AC and DC sources with loads. Microgrid has modeled such a way that it avoids multiple reverse connections. Power electronic devices such as converters and inverters are ensures safe operation and control of the microgrid. The proper modeling and simulation results ensure the successful implementation of microgrid. The challenges involved in implementation and the modeling of AC/DC and hybrid grid in the tied mode have been discussed. The simulation modeling of the microgrid in MATLAB/SIMULINK platform is explained with neat circuit diagram. This chapter provides the readers complete and comprehen-sive overview about microgrids and their different modes of operations.","PeriodicalId":163140,"journal":{"name":"Design Investigations: After Abundance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129864617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DOI will always be in the first footnote. Furthermore, SCENARIO is moving to a new online platform (Open Journal System) in 2020. During this transfer, all previous articles from earlier issues will also get DOIs. And now to our new issue, which features a wide spectrum of teaching and learning contexts. Eva Göksel (Pädagogische Hochschule Zug) describes an action research project at a Canadian Montessori School. Her article Playing with Possibilities: Drama and Core French in the Montessori Elementary Classroom in British Columbia, Canada demonstrates heightened motivation and improved learning attitudes in elementary school pupils learning French with drama pedagogy techniques. Positive outcomes of performative teaching and learning are also the focus of ‘The only learning I’m going to get’: Students with intellectual disabilities learning a second language through performative pedagogy. The authors Erika PiazzoliandJohn Kubiak(TrinityCollegeDublin)investigatehowintellectually challenged students of Italian as a foreign language profit from the integration of physical learning. InImproving Language and Interpreting Skills: A Teaching Experience,Serena Cecco (Ciels University, Italy) und Andrea Masiero (Cambiscena, Italy) report on the use of improv techniques in interpreter training at the Advanced School for Language Mediation of Ciels University, Campus Padua. Students’ positive feedback encouraged the authors to design a follow-up project to determine the curricula value of improv techniques in interpreter education. Aneta Bučková (University of Regensburg, Germany) writes about a pilot study with beginning learners of Czech at a German university. Her contribution Der Effekt der Dramagrammatik im Anfängerunterricht: Eine Pilotstudie für Tschechisch als Fremdsprache is based on the hypothesis that ‚dramagrammar‘ (Even 2003) yields positive learning outcomes particularly in the field of grammar and results in improved motivation and more active classroom participation. The following two contributions are closely connected with the 6th SCENARIO Forum Symposium that took place in Hannover on September 21-22, 2018. The symposium revolved around the question Are universities on the way to a performative teaching and learning culture? and was extensively documented in Issue 2/2018.","PeriodicalId":163140,"journal":{"name":"Design Investigations: After Abundance","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125186901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
