Minigrids: Analysing the state-of-play

摘要

Minigrids are often cited as an evolutionary path for electricity distribution systems- a way of integrating a high penetration of low emissions generation without needing to dramatically change system operation or design. Minigrids are not without their challenges though, and there is a growing body of work examining the technical issues related to the widespread uptake of minigrid technology. This survey offers a comprehensive collection and analysis of such research, painting a more complete minigrids picture, elucidating the progress that has been made thus far, and the challenges that still lay ahead.
