A microgrid is essentially an active distribution network because it is the conglomerate of DG systems and different loads at the distribution voltage level.
The impact of Microgrids on the distribution system is enormous due to their dynamic responses to a wide range of local needs. However, utilities, network operators, regulators, and other stakeholders are hesitant to allow autonomous operation of DERs (Distributed Energy Resources) as power islands because of their major impacts on utility operation and protection.
The dynamic interactions between F12 microgrids and active distribution networks will be a key issue in their operation and management.
Microgrids, through their power electronic interfaces (PEIs), are fully equipped to supply reactive powers for distribution system voltage support. These PEIs can be configured to provide the necessary reactive power for ancillary services.
It deals with the basic concept, technical features, operational and management issues, economic viability and market participation in deregulated environment of distributed generation (DG)
