Abstract

Large‐scale integration of distributed energy resources in low voltage distribution grids will have a serious impact on power system operation. The development of the microgrid concept is presented as a solution to overcome some of the negative impacts of massive microgeneration deployment. It has paved the way for an active network management approach within the smart grid paradigm. The microgrid concept is able to address the integration of geographically dispersed energy resources, thus avoiding significant technical problems that may affect the security of operation. This article is categorized under: Energy Infrastructure > Systems and Infrastructure Energy Systems Economics > Climate and Environment Energy and Development > Systems and Infrastructure
