Microgrids are integrated systems in which distributed energy resources (DERs) create a grid that feeds a variable number of distributed loads. Both elements constitute the main body of a microgrid. Fig. 1. R1.1 Home feeded by a DC microgrid with an internal AC distribution system.
The aforementioned elements and issues mainly depend on the technology (AC or DC) of the distribution line of the microgrid. At the same time, because microgrids can be connected to AC and DC transmission systems ( Fig. 2 - ①) with different advantages and disadvantages (Section 3 ).
According to the control, centralised or decentralised hierarchical control is normally used for AC and DC microgrids. Most of the installed microgrids use centralised control since its design simpler and easier for small microgrids.
An economic analysis of microgrids can be carried out by means of the study of the relevant benefits and costs. Two main issues are considered: on-site generation from the customer perspective and the traditional utility economics of expansion planning from the utility perspective .
Microgrids are a suitable, reliable and clean solution to integrate distributed generation into the mains grid. Microgrids can present both AC and DC distribution lines. The type of distribution conditions the performance of distribution line and implies different features, advantages and disadvantages in each case.
Most of the existing microgrids around the globe present a centralised control . This type of control is optimal for small microgrids in which all the elements share the same goals. As these elements present different needs and the microgrid gets more complex, the alternative of decentralised control becomes more suitable.
