Power Management Strategies In Microgrid:A Survey

Abstract

Since the potential benefits are resulting from the use of renewable energy sources,Microgrid and Distributed Generation(DG) are becoming a significant research area.Microgrid can generally be composed of renewable microsources placed close to the load centre.In order to have control over the real and reactive power of individual DG,Voltage-Frequency control,Power management strategy is required in microgrid.Hence the main motivation of this article is to make a comprehensive survey on challenges over power management in microgrid.Six different approaches are reviewed in detail for AC,DC and hybrid AC/DC microgrid.
