Electrical Safety With Microgrids [Electrical Safety]

Abstract

There are many different definitions of “microgrid” available, but generally, the microgrid has three basic attributes. First, it is local in the sense that it has a limited size and coverage. Second, it can operate independently, although most microgrids are still connected to a larger utility system. Third, it has some intelligence built in, so it can operate reliably under varying conditions of load and generation. To gain a general understanding of the issues with the operation and integration of microgrids, see the IEEE Access paper “A Review on Microgrids’ Challenges & Perspectives,” by Saeed et al. [1] .
