Microgrid<br />
• A MicroGrid power system<br />
– Is a local scale power system using distributed resources scaled to<br />
the local system demand.<br />
– Is designed to transfer seamlessly between connection with the<br />
local utility and isolated operation.<br />
• Benefits<br />
– Improved power reliability and power quality<br />
– Potential economic benefits: CHP, higher efficiency, diversified fuel<br />
supplies<br />
– Possible ancillary services for power system operators<br />
– Transmission and distribution support in constrained areas.<br />
– Potential for reduced emissions compared to centralized utility.<br />
– Ability to allow high penetration of renewable generation.
