Abstract
To increase the effectiveness of the electrical system and lessen dependency on fossil-fuel-based electricity, microgrids (MG) enable the seamless coordination and integration of numerous Distributed energy resources (DERs). Natural disasters present new issues in terms of sophisticated control strategy, operation, operation natural reliability. Most natural disasters (ND) have a direct impact on the overall power system as well as system communication. Once the disaster occurs, the main grid may result in power blackouts, and generator units are turned off for security purposes. Low-power moveable ad-hoc MG can offer an immediate solution in this case so that electricity for potable water pumps can be given for two or three days to relieve the devastated area. In this study, a hospital load on the Indonesian island of Lombok was chosen as the critical load because it required greater resilience than other loads do in the face of extreme weather. HOMER Grid runs the simulation with a 72-hour outage.
