Microgrids: A review, outstanding issues and future trends
A microgrid, regarded as one of the cornerstones of the future smart grid, uses distributed generations and information technology to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery
The development of microgrids (MGs) and smart grids, as creative alternatives to the traditional power grid structure, has prepared the way for the development of the future of power supply. RE is required because of its multiple benefits, including being an inexhaustible supply of free energy with no emissions.
The term “microgrid” refers to the concept of a small number of DERs connected to a single power subsystem. DERs include both renewable and /or conventional resources . The electric grid is no longer a one-way system from the 20th-century . A constellation of distributed energy technologies is paving the way for MGs, , .
Smart grids, in contrast, are a more advanced version of the standard power grid that integrates digital communication and control technology. Smart grids not only incorporate RESs and DERs, but they also manage and integrate demand-side resources, grid infrastructure, and DERs efficiently.
Electricity distribution networks globally are undergoing a transformation, driven by the emergence of new distributed energy resources (DERs), including microgrids (MGs). The MG is a promising potential for a modernized electric infrastructure, .
