Microgrid: Configurations, Control and Applications

This paper deals with a comprehensive study of configurations of microgrid (MG) based on variable speed generators. The selection criteria for these configurations along with the design of required control algorithms, are presented in detail. Simulation results and experimental validation of selected MG configurations are given to demonstrate their suitability. It is aimed to enhance applications of MGs with main emphasis on renewable energy sources to ensure sustainable development in rural and remote areas.
