Basic, stage 1, MicroGrids combine distributed generation, intelligent load control, and in many cases energy storage, to form a well-behaved aggregate load or generator. This allows more straight-forward and widespread integration of distributed generation. More advanced MicroGrids (stage 2) can further add the capability to isolate such small sections of the network and continue to operate them...
The paper summarises the conclusions of a study into single-phase, small-scale semi-autonomous networks, such as might be formed by a single-household (a domestic MicroGrid). Suitable technologies are discussed and sample results from a hardware model are presented. A novel solution for low-cost integration of such a system into a well-behaved aggregate system is described.
Microgrids are networks of small, distributed electrical power generators operated as a collective unit - a system of energy systems. The range of hardware and control options for Microgrid operation are reviewed. The paper summarizes and highlights the operating principles and key conclusions of research and field trials to-date. An overview is given on demonstration projects for Microgrids which...
