Abstract

Properly designed and grid-integrated microgrids can provide the flexibility, reliability, and resiliency needs of both the future grid and critical customers. These systems can be an integral part of future power system designs that optimize investments to achieve operational goals, improved reliability, and diversification of energy sources. The key components of a microgrid are the isolating device at the point of interconnection (POI ), the electric and thermal loads, the distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar photovoltaics (PVs), batteries, combined heat and power and load management systems; and the local microgrid controller.
