Recently, there has been great interest in the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) at the distribution level. DERs are potentially valuable providers of ancillary services such as load following and contingency reserve in distribution systems. This will require new control strategies for coordinating their system performance. One issue that has not been addressed sufficiently is the...
Optimal deployment, with respect to locations, capacity sizes, and types of distributed energy resources (DERs), which are the main components in a microgrid system, are chosen for study in this paper. For the selection of optimal locations of DERs, the loss sensitivity index of each bus is taken into account. Whereas optimal size and its separation among microturbines, diesel generators and combustion...
The potential to improve distribution system reliability is a primary motivation behind the development and deployment of microgrids. Previous studies have illustrated substantial reliability benefits of dispatchable distributed energy resources (DER). However, more analysis and new evaluation methodologies are needed for microgrids dominated by limited and stochastic distributed generation (SDG)...
Microgrids are intentional islands formed at a facility or in an electrical distribution system that contain at least one distributed energy resource and associated loads. Microgrids that operate both electrical generation and loads in a coordinated manner can offer benefits to the customer and the local utility. The loads and energy sources in a microgrid can be disconnected from and reconnected...
There has been much recent discussion on what distribution systems can and should look like in the future. Terms related to this discussion include smart grid, distribution system of the future, and others. Functionally, a smart grid should be able to provide new abilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. From a design perspective, a smart grid will...
