“…Some of the papers have presented the overview of microgrid systems [8,[13][14][15]20,[22][23][24]27,28,33,34] focusing on the various technologies and recent developments and their potential application for rural electrification and islanded purposes; a review of renewable energy resources for microgrid application was also presented [19]. Some other papers have focused on the review of control strategies of microgrid and autonomous applications with the aim of achieving proper and effective coordination of a cluster of microgrids in electrical systems for optimal operation [6,7,9,11,12,17,21,25,26].…”

“…In addition, some of the studies presented the review of protection challenges and principles relating to microgrid systems [10,16,25,35,39], while the contributions on the techno-economic and impact analysis and application of rural microgrids were made in [18,32,38]. A review of classification of topologies of hybrid microgrids, classification of topologies and optimal considerations were achieved in [20,27,29], while the remaining contributions are based on the concept, stability and power quality issues of autonomous microgrid systems [30,31,36,37].…”

Abstract:There is a growing interest in the application of microgrids around the world because of their potential for achieving a flexible, reliable, efficient and smart electrical grid system and supplying energy to off-grid communities, including their economic benefits. Several research studies have examined the application issues of microgrids. However, a lack of in-depth considerations for the enabling planning conditions has been identified as a major reason why microgrids fail in several off-grid communities. This development requires research efforts that consider better strategies and framework for sustainable microgrids in remote communities. This paper first presents a comprehensive review of microgrid technologies and their applications. It then proposes the STEEP model to examine critically the failure factors based on the social, technical, economic, environmental and policy (STEEP) perspectives. The model details the key dimensions and actions necessary for addressing the challenge of microgrid failure in remote communities. The study uses remote communities within Nigeria, West Africa, as case studies and demonstrates the need for the STEEP approach for better understanding of microgrid planning and development. Better insights into microgrid systems are expected to address the drawbacks and improve the situation that can lead to widespread and sustainable applications in off-grid communities around the world in the future. The paper introduces the sustainable planning framework (SPF) based on the STEEP model, which can form a general basis for planning microgrids in any remote location.

“…In [9] the authors make a review of the latest documents related to the use of hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) that facilitate the introduction of renewable energy sources (RES) in MGs. In [10] a summary of the approaches (system configuration, unit size, control and energy management) available and currently being investigated for the optimal design of RES hybrid system is presented.…”

Abstract.The microgrids allow the integration of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind and distributed energy resources such as combined heat and power, energy storage, and demand response. In addition, the use of local sources of energy to serve local loads helps reduce energy losses in transmission and distribution, further increasing efficiency of the electric delivery system. In this paper, the optimization problem of the energy in a microgrid (MG) located in southeastern of Spain, with Energy Storage System (ESS), which exchanges energy with the utility grid is developed using Model Predictive Control techniques. System modelling use the methodology of the Energy Hubs. The MPC techniques allow maximizing the economic benefit of the microgrid and to minimize the degradation of storage system.

“…Othman, Gabbar, Honarmand, & Othman (2015), [10] perform a similar comparison and found that the islanded microgrid system was more robust and resistant to fault than the grid connected system. However, many studies that aimed at developing power control or energy storage systems for islanded microgrid as illustrated by (Etxeberria, Vechiu, Camblong, Vinassa, & Camblong, 2010; Pota, Hossain, Mahmud, & Gadh, 2014) [11], [12], have also realized the complexity involved and the adequacy of such systems only for remote and isolated locations. On the other hand, grid-connected system are advantageous in providing a reduced cost of electricity as the Grid electricity is always considered cheaper than locally developed power.…”
