TLDR
A system approach which views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a “microgrid”, which will disconnect from the utility during large events, but may also intentionally disconnect when the quality of power from the grid falls below certain standards.Abstract:
Application of individual distributed generators can cause as many problems as it may solve. A better way to realize the emerging potential of distributed generation is to take a system approach which views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a “microgrid”. The sources can operate in parallel to the grid or can operate in island, providing UPS services. The system will disconnect from the utility during large events (i.e. faults, voltage collapses), but may also intentionally disconnect when the quality of power from the grid falls below certain standards. Utilization of waste heat from the sources will increase total efficiency, making the project more fmancially attractive. University of Wisconsin Laboratory verification of microgrid control concepts are included.read more

Dynamic Stability of a Microgrid With an Active Load
TL;DR: In this article, an active rectifier and voltage regulator are modeled in nonlinear state-space form, linearized around an operating point, and joined to network and inverter models, and participation analysis of the combined system identified that the low-frequency modes are associated with the voltage controller of the active rectifiers and the droop controllers of the inverters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a description of state of the art for distributed power generation systems (DPGS) based on renewable energy and explore the power converters connected in parallel to the grid which are distinguished by their contribution to the formation of the grid voltage and frequency and are accordingly classified in three classes.

Microgrids: experiences, barriers and success factors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the common barriers and ultimate success factors to implementing a microgrid in the real world and find that microgrids vary significantly depending on location, components, and optimization goals, which cause them to experience different types of challenges and barriers.

The CERTS microgrid and the future of the macrogrid
Chris Marnay,Owen Bailey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the CERTS Microgrid is proposed to provide for sensitive loads by means of local power generation, which is becoming increasingly competitive with central station generation for a number of reasons, including non-technical constraints on expansion of the grid, improvements in small scale technologies, opportunities for CHP application, and the ubiquitous nature of sensitive loads in advanced economies.
