The United States Department of Energy Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode."
Preliminary microgrid conceptual design for a microgrid solution including DER optimal source sizes, enabling equipment such as electrical switchgear, communication, microgrid
Microgrids typically consist of four main components: energy generation,energy storage,loads and energy management. The architecture of microgrid is given in Figure 1.
