Microgrids: reliable power while integrating renewable generation

  Authors: Dr Maria Brucoli, and Kevin O’Halloran, Arup A microgrid is a cluster of loads and localised distributed generation and storage sources operating as a single controllable unit. Usually, a microgrid is a small part of the medium- or low-voltage distribution network, where the power and, sometimes, the heat demand are supplied by local energy sources (e.g. photovoltaic units, micro turbines and fuel cells) and storage devices (e.g. flywheels and batteries). A microgrid can ...
