Academic literature on the topic 'Micro distributed generation system'

In the past few decades, power system has developed into a large-scale network system of centralized electricity generation and long-distance transmission. But in recent years, electrical load has increasing, while the grid has not developed simultaneously, it makes transmission capacity of long-distance transmission lines increase, so as the decline of stability and security of power grid. In order to achieve the goal of not only increasing utilization of renewable energy, but also solving the drawbacks of large-scale power systems, implementing distributed power generation is an effective way. Despite the advantages of distributed generation, there are many problems in itself, for example, the high cost of distributed generation stand-alone access and control difficulties. In addition, distributed generation is a non-controllable source for large grid. Then in the beginning of this century, scholars have proposed the concept of micro-grid.

The power sector plays a critical role in the functioning of the economy and the security of a country, being closely interconnected with other vital infrastructures, such as gas supply, water supply, transportation, and telecommunications. Ensuring a stable power supply is crucial for the uninterrupted operation of these systems. One way to enhance the resilience of the power system is by integrating local networks with distributed renewable generation into the overall energy infrastructure. The flexibility, stability, controllability, and self-healing capabilities of microgrids make them an effective solution for improving the resilience of the power system. The power grid is susceptible to disturbances and disruptions that can cause large-scale power outages for consumers. Statistical data indicates that approximately 90% of outages occur due to issues in the distribution system, thus research focuses on local microgrids with distributed renewable generation. This study analyzed the role of microgrids with renewable generation in enhancing the resilience of power systems. Additionally, functions of microgrids that contribute to enhancing power system resilience, such as service restoration, network formation strategies, control and stability, as well as preventive measures, were summarized. It was found that local microgrids have significant potential to enhance power system resilience through the implementation of various strategies, from emergency response planning to providing reliable energy supply for quick responses to military, environmental, and human-induced crises. The concept of local distributed energy generation, storage, and control can reduce reliance on long-distance power transmission lines, reduce network vulnerabilities, and simultaneously improve its resilience and reduce recovery time. It has been determined that the most necessary and promising approaches to enhance the resilience of the power system include developing appropriate regulatory frameworks, implementing automatic frequency and power control systems, ensuring resource adequacy (including the reservation of technical components), promoting distributed generation, integrating energy storage systems into the energy grid, and strengthening cyber security.
