6 FAQs about [Summary of the Smart Microgrid Training Report]
Is microgrid a smart grid?
Elements that used in microgrid, control of generation, forecasting techniques, data transmission and monitoring techniques are reviewed as smart grid functions. It is possible to implement microgrid with the usage of these functions, but these still cannot solve all issues.
What are the challenges to connecting microgrid system to distribution grid?
Despite many advantages of microgrids, there are major challenges to connecting microgrid system to distribution grid. These challenges can be classified as technical challenges associated with control and protection system, regulation challenges and customer participation challenges.
What is a microgrid system?
The microgrids can be defined as small, local distribution systems including a set of microsources such as microturbines, fuel cells, photovoltaic (PV) arrays and wind turbines, storage systems, such as flywheels, energy capacitors, and batteries and controllable and uncontrollable loads.
What are the functions of smart grid components?
Section 4 presents an overview of function of smart grid components including interface components, control of generation units, control of storage units, data transmission and monitoring, power flow and energy management and vehicle to grid.
What technical challenges did the microgrids project face?
Similar technical challenges were explored by the European Union MICROGRIDS project such as energy management, safe islanding and re-connection practices, protection equipment, control strategies under islanded and connected scenarios, and communications protocols .
What are smart grid technologies?
Smart grid technologies can include large amount of different DERs such as solar, wind or fuel cells that are connected to grid either directly or by power electronic interface. The voltage source inverter (VSI) is connected to grid as interface to contribute to proper adjustment of the grid voltage and frequency .
