Abstract:
Microgrids were primarily introduced to address the emergence of a large number of distributed energy resources (DERs) through local integration at distribution level. Current developments, however, have presented microgrids as potential core components of future power grids which would be able to further address ongoing energy, economics and environmental challenges by creating smarter modular power grids. This talk provides an overview of microgrids definition, benefits, and deployment challenges, and further reviews various components and development phases of one of the most ambitious microgrid projects in the U.S.
