This paper presents a review of the impact of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) panels on the distribution grid. This includes how rooftop PVs affect voltage quality, power losses, and the operation of other voltage-regulating devices in the system. A historical background and a classification of the most relevant publications are presented along with the review of the important lessons learned. It has been widely believed that high penetration levels of PVs in the distribution grid can potentially cause problems for node voltages or overhead line flows. However, it is shown in the literature that proper control of the PV resource using smart inverters can alleviate many of those issues, hence paving the way for higher PV penetration levels in the grid.

Due to the growing awareness of the harmful impact of conventional fossil fuels and advancements in renewable energy technologies, microgrid has grown in popularity. This chapter aims to provide holistic learning of the microgrid system. This chapter is not only helpful for readers who are new to the world microgrid energy systems but also provide essential information to experts of this field. The chapter highlights the need and merits of adoption of microgrid systems while also highlighting the barriers in its implementation. The chapter also provides the various methods of categorization of microgrid while also emphasizing critical points of multiple categories. The different aspect of the deployment of microgrids such as its architecture, mode of operations, control strategies, monitoring methods, protection schemes, and energy management strategies are categorically explained. The fundamental requirement of the protection system and its functions are described to provide the overview of protection schemes used in the microgrid in this chapter. Various protection schemes will be discussed in the other following chapter giving more emphasis on new protection strategies.

Recent reports from international energy agencies indicate that more than a billion of the population in the world is deprived of basic electricity provisions, confined mainly to the remote communities of developing nations. Microgrids are promoted as a potential technology for electricity provisions to off-grid rural communities, but have failed to reach their value proposition in the context of rural electrification access. In view of the rampant rural electrification issues, the objective of this paper is to furnish an understanding of, and advance the knowledge into, methods to facilitate the design and development of microgrid systems for remote communities in developing countries. The methodology involves an integrative review process of an annotated bibliography to summarise past empirical or theoretical literature. As such, this research is based on evaluation attributes, and identifies the challenges and barriers for remote microgrids through an analysis of 19 case studies. The paper concludes by proposing key aspects that need to be considered for developing a framework to improve the sustainability of electricity provisions for off-grid rural communities in developing countries.
