Microgrid System
In this context, at the urban scale, the proposed system is a building-integrated DC microgrid that provides a solution for the self-supply of buildings and grid-interaction control.
Microgrids: A review, outstanding issues and future trends
Future research areas worth exploring for microgrids are also outlined. A microgrid, regarded as one of the cornerstones of the future smart grid, uses distributed generations and
Microgrid Overview
After considering the resilience benefits and high-level cost considerations for a microgrid project, if a microgrid appears to be an effective and feasible resilience investment option, the next step is to
