Modeling and control of microsources in microgrid

Abstract

A microgrid consists of several electric power generators that supply electricity and

heat to a group of customers. Microgrids can be consist of a limited number of

residential homes that are interconnected with each other and form an isolated power

system independent from the large utility grid.

A microgrid technique is effective backup power supply during an emergency, peak

cut of power plants, or exhaust heat utilization. Besides of it, when renewable energy

is connected to a microgrid, there is potential to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas

discharge.

Microgrid is a small-scale power supply network that is designed to provide power

for a small community. It enables local power generation for local loads, and

comprises of various small power generating sources that make it highly flexible and

efficient.
