A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode. Microgrids can improve customer reliability and resilience to grid disturbances.
If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to the main electric grid when it is generating excess power.
Moreover, in the event of a power grid failure, a microgrid is one of the best alternatives. This chapter has provided an overview of microgrid systems and elaborated on several aspects of control, mode of operation, and distributed energy storage applications within microgrids and desired targets.
Military Microgrid: The small-scale power system in a military base camp is known as military microgrid where it is operated mainly independently. Diesel generator is commonly used to supply power, but renewable energy sources are currently mixed with the conventional diesel generation system. b.
Microgrid control systems: typically, microgrids are managed through a central controller that coordinates distributed energy resources, balances electrical loads, and is responsible for
