Stochastic optimal control of a domestic microgrid
We consider here a domestic microgrid (see Figure 1), equipped with a battery, an electrical hot water tank and a solar panel. We use the battery to store energy when prices are low or when
Microgrid
A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [2] [3] A ''stand-alone microgrid'' or ''isolated microgrid'' only

6 FAQs about [Domestic Background of Microgrid]
What is a microgrid system?
The term “microgrid” refers to a small power generation and distribution system composed of distributed generators, energy storage devices, energy conversion devices, related loads, monitoring devices and protective devices. It is an autonomous system that can realize self-control, protection and management.
What is a stand-alone microgrid?
A stand-alone microgrid or isolated microgrid, sometimes called an "island grid", only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. They are usually designed for geographical islands or for rural electrification.
What is a community microgrid?
Community microgrids can serve thousands of customers and support the penetration of local energy (electricity, heating, and cooling). In a community microgrid, some houses may have some renewable sources that can supply their demand as well as that of their neighbors within the same community.
Where are microgrids located?
Existing micro grids in remote areas are mainly located in high altitude areas such as Tibet, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Microgrids in these areas are mainly independent, with solar energy and wind energy as the main energy resources used. Among these resources, solar energy is the most widely distributed and most used.
What is a small microgrid called?
Very small microgrids are called nanogrids. A grid-connected microgrid normally operates connected to and synchronous with the traditional wide area synchronous grid (macrogrid), but is able to disconnect from the interconnected grid and to function autonomously in "island mode" as technical or economic conditions dictate.
What are Industrial microgrids?
As a local power grid, industrial microgrids cooperate with large power grids to provide reliable electricity for industries, which reduces electricity costs and industrial greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emissions and improves air quality.
