Energy Syst. 2013, 23, 719–732. Microgrids have been proposed as a solution to the growing deterioration of traditional electrical power systems and the energy transition towards renewable sources.
However, increasingly, microgrids are being based on energy storage systems combined with renewable energy sources (solar, wind, small hydro), usually backed up by a fossil fuel-powered generator. The main advantage of a microgrid: higher reliability.
DC microgrid topologies The choice of an appropriate DC microgrid topology is critical because it has an impact on critical aspects of a power system such as flexibility, cost, reliability, controllability, robustness, resiliency, and scalability. The voltage level is an important consideration when designing the topology of a DC microgrid.
Coordination between DERs. Depending on the type of power supplied, microgrid (MG) topologies are divided into DC, AC, hybrid, and 3-NET [ 4][ 5][ 6]. According to its configuration, MGs are classified into cascade-type and parallel-type MGs.
Abstract: A Micro Grid (MG) is an electrical energy system that brings together dispersed renewable resources as well as demands that may operate simultaneously with others or autonomously of the main electricity grid.
The concept of radial DC microgrid topology is depicted in Fig. 4. This type of topology is equally referred to as single bus structure or a feeder topology. It is characterized by a single DC bus and a single point of connection for generation, storage, and load in the system.
