6 FAQs about [What is a microgrid cluster ]

What is a microgrid cluster?

A microgrid cluster can be identified as one of the layouts depicted in Fig. 4. Fig. 4. Layout architectures. The Parallel Connected Microgrids with an external grid (PCM) layout, represented in Fig. 4 (a), refers to an structure in which all microgrids are connected to the same external grid, where each microgrid has only one PCC.

Which concepts affect microgrid cluster performance?

Three main concepts that can potentially affect the microgrid cluster performance are identified and classified into (i) the layout, (ii) the line technology and (iii) the interconnection technology. Then, the possible architectures within these concepts are identified and defined.

What is a microgrid energy system?

A microgrid is a self-sufficient energy system that serves a discrete geographic footprint, such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center or neighborhood. Within microgrids are one or more kinds of distributed energy (solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat and power, generators) that produce its power.

What is the protection system for a cluster of microgrids?

In the present study, the protection system for the cluster of microgrids is studied and treated according to the three defined architecture levels, being the layout, the line technology and the interconnection technology. 4.3.1. Layout The layout defines how microgrids are interconnected.

What is a microgrid?

An EU research project describes a microgrid as comprising Low-Voltage (LV) distribution systems with distributed energy resources (DERs) (microturbines, fuel cells, photovoltaics (PV), etc.), storage devices (batteries, flywheels) energy storage system and flexible loads.

Can multi-microgrid clusters be categorized into different architectures?

Categorization of multi-microgrids into different architectures based on the layout of the interconnections, evaluation of reported control techniques in microgrid clustering and multi-microgrid protection aspects are presented, highlighting the possible areas of future research that would improve the operational aspects of microgrid clusters.
