Introduction to Microgrid

Microgrid history
Microgrid markets
Microgrid components
Microgrid benefits
• Ability to disconnect from utility grid during disturbance and
operate independently

• It reduces demand on utility grid thus prevents grid failure

• We can use both electricity and heat energy so that over all
efficiency increases

• Cost effective

• Reliable

• Can be constructed in short time and less cost

• Transmission losses are less

• Answer to the energy crisis


Microgrid disadvantages

• Voltage ,frequency and power quality should be at acceptable


limits

• Requires battery tanks to store which requires space and


maintenance

• Resynchronization to utility grid is difficult

• Protection is difficult
Grid connected mode Islanded mode
