Interconnecting a microgrid (MG) or a distribution energy resource (DER) project, either in the form of a grid-connected, grid-following operation-only mode, or as a unit with islanding model and grid-forming capability, can cause various challenges and violations in a power system distribution or transmission network.

With the promise of reduced carbon emissions, scalable and modular design, and improved reliability, microgrids are deemed essential components of grid modernization and are gaining a lot of attention from utilities and end customers. Particularly, businesses and corporations, also referred to as commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, are deploying microgrids to increase resilience against potential outages and reduce their energy costs. In addition, with the advancement of generation technologies, inverters are becoming increasingly popular, leading to the advent of inverter-based microgrid systems. However, similar to other emerging technologies, the integration of microgrids presents new challenges to the conventional operation of power systems. In the context of microgrid protection, especially in islanded operation, effective grounding, the insulation coordination of primary equipment, and the behavior of inverters during short circuit faults introduce challenges to conventional system protection schemes. In addition, the operation of customer resources should be properly controlled to avoid any adverse impact on the utility grid.

Society’s increasing dependence on small renewable resources, generating less than 10 MVA, for sustainable electricity brings forth a unique challenge. Unlike large and centralized generation facilities, these resources often remain unconnected to the transmission system because there are prohibitive costs associated with high-voltage interconnection equipment. Consequently, they find their connection in medium- or low-voltage distribution systems, originally designed for customer supply rather than for securing the integration of generation resources. This shift transforms the distribution feeder from a single source to a double-sourced (or multisourced) line, necessitating protection requirements like the transmission system. However, traditional transmission protection solutions prove too costly to integrate these small-generation resources into the distribution system.

We all depend on electricity, and as such, we define a mapping of electrification onto education because we all need a provision of life sustained by infrastructure that is powered by electricity. Electrification began at the end of the 19th century, becoming global, but is not yet complete. It is evolving, and in the last few decades, electrical power systems have undergone a reenchantment, a paradigm shift associated with renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, power electronics, modernization of communication, and automation of infrastructures. This article starts with several concepts and boundaries that have transformed electrical energy from a somewhat simple technology to the recent acceleration of the development process. We also look at how current and future pedagogical perspectives for the 21st-century electrical engineer will help us to become a sustainable society.

The advent of inexpensive industrial computing platforms, combined with ever-broadening secure telecommunication, has created avenues for advanced control of electric system equipment, even when spread over significant distances. When applied to the existing grid, these technologies take the form of sophisticated fault location, isolation, and service restoration and advanced distribution management system (ADMS) applications. At a smaller scale, these technologies also facilitate the management of microgrid assets.

In the ever-evolving tapestry of modern electricity grids, microgrids emerge as dynamic and resilient contributors, reshaping the narrative of energy distribution. The inception of distributed energy resource grid architecture and microgrids can be traced to the landmark Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) of 1978. Born out of the energy crisis in the 1970s, this groundbreaking legislation aimed to steer dependence away from oil toward renewables, fostering energy conservation and sustainable practices. Before this pivotal act, electricity utilities maintained a vertical integration monopoly over generation, transmission, and distribution (Figure 1). The act revolutionized this entrenched model, mandating nondiscriminatory grid access for small power producers and laying the foundation for both a decentralized energy landscape and the rise of microgrids (Figure 2).
