IEEE microgrid research. EW-1710 Fact Sheet. Objective A microgrid is defined as an integrated energy system consisting of interconnected distributed generation (DG) sources, along with energy storage devices and controllable loads located at or near the end-use customers at the distribution level.
The portfolio of these small-scale generation and storage technologies, which are generally known as distributed energy resources (DER), includes renewable energy technologies, internal combustion engines, microturbines, fuel cells, battery storage, and flywheel energy storage. Such systems can operate in parallel with the grid during normal conditions or in a controlled islanded mode during emergency conditions. The deployment of a microgrid is expected to increase system robustness, resilience and security, deliver higher power security to critical loads, allow renewable integration and enable inclusion of emerging technologies.
