Are microgrids a viable solution for integrating distributed energy resources?

1. Introduction Microgrids offer a viable solution for integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), including in particular variable and unpredictable renewable energy sources, low-voltage and medium-voltage into distribution networks.

What is Microgrid technology?

It is a small-scale power system with distributed energy resources. To realize the distributed generation potential, adopting a system where the associated loads and generation are considered as a subsystem or a microgrid is essential. In this article, a literature review is made on microgrid technology.

How effective is microgrid implementation?

Abstract: To accomplish feasible large-scale integration of distributed energy resources (DER) into the existing grid system, microgrid implementation has proven to be the most effective.

Why is microgrid important in Smart Grid development?

Microgrid is an important and necessary component of smart grid development. It is a small-scale power system with distributed energy resources. To realize the distributed generation potential, adopting a system where the associated loads and generation are considered as a subsystem or a microgrid is essential.

What is a Multiagent System solution to energy management in a microgrid?

A multiagent system solution to energy management in a microgrid, based on distributed hybrid renewable energy generation and distributed consumption, is presented in Reference 220, where, the applied method in controlling the microgrid bus voltage through the multiagent system technique is described.

How do microgrids work?

The coordinated operation and control of DER together with controllable loads and storage devices, such as flywheels, energy capacitors and batteries, are central to the concept of microgrid. Microgrids can operate interconnected to the main distribution grid, or in an islanded mode. This paper reviews the studies on microgrid technologies.
