Abstract
The microgrid concept offers a stepping stone along the path to autonomous, intelligent low-emissions electricity systems, by creating a localized low-emissions smart grid that allows advanced control while being compatible with current electricity infrastructure. With such promise, microgrids are of growing interest to grid operators around the world, as ways of enhancing the performance of both developed and undeveloped electricity systems. The operation of microgrids, however, is not without its challenges. This chapter reviews microgrid technology, detailing worldwide research and developments of this technology, while also presenting examples of the technical challenges needing to be addressed before widespread rollout.
