Review of microgrid technology

摘要

The use of renewable energy source (RES) in meet the demand of electrical energy is getting into attention as solution of the problem a deficit of electrical energy. Application of RES in electricity generation system is done in a variety of configurations, among others in microgrid system. Implementation of microgrid systems provide many advantages both from the user and from the electric utility provider. Many microgrid development carried out in several countries, because microgrid offers many advantages, including better power quality and more environmentally friendly. Microgrid development concern in technology generation, microgrid architecture, power electronics, control systems, protection systems. This paper reviewing various technological developments related to microgrid system and case study about microgrid system development using grid tie inverter (GTI). Microgrid system can implemented using GTI, power transfer can occur from GTI to grid when GTI has power excess and grid supplying power to GTI when GTI power shortage.
