Survey on Micro-Grid Technology

Abstract:

The micro-grid technologies become one of key spots in the research on distributed energy systems. In this paper, the components, systemic structure and operation modes of micro-grid are presented. From the viewpoint of technical connotation, the present research situation of key technologies for the micro-grid is reviewed. These technologies include new power electronic converter technologies, fault detection and protection, communication technologies, planning and design of micro-grid, as well as issues related to operation control and energy management such as supervisory and control architecture, control strategies and approaches, ancillary services, operation specification, modeling and simulation research in system level and unit level and micro-grid economic evaluation. The authors also point out that the optimal design of micro-grid topology and optimal configuration of distributed energy units are of significance for the implementation of maximum benefit of the whole micro-grid. Besides, the effective economic evaluation of micro-grid is a topic to be researched in detail.
