The microgrid concept has evolved from the humble origins of simple remote electrification applications in rural environments to complex architectures. Microgrids are key enablers to the integration of higher penetrations of renewables in the energy sector (including electricity, heating, cooling, transport and industry). In addition to the local energy sources, energy storage systems and loads, the modern microgrid encompasses sophisticated energy and power management systems, peer-to-peer energy markets and digital technologies to support this energy transition. The microgrid concept has recently been applied to all energy sectors, in order to develop solutions that address pressing issues related to climate change and the decarbonization of these important sectors. This paper initially reviews novel applications in which the microgrid concept is being applied, from a detailed analysis of recent literature. This consists of a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in shipboard microgrids, port microgrids, aircraft microgrids, airport microgrids and space microgrids. Future research directions are then presented, based on the authors’ perspectives on pushing the boundaries of microgrids further.

Networked microgrids (NMGs) are developing as a viable approach for integrating an expanding number of distributed energy resources (DERs) while improving energy system performance. NMGs, as compared to typical power systems, are constructed of many linked microgrids that can function independently or as part of a more extensive network. This allows NMGs to be more flexible, dependable, and efficient. The present study comprehensively investigates architecture, communication, and cybersecurity issues in NMGs. This comprehensive study examines various aspects related to networked microgrids (NMGs). It explores the architecture of NMGs, including control techniques, protection, standards, and the challenges associated with their adoption. Additionally, it investigates communication in NMGs, focusing on the technologies, protocols, and the impact of communication on the functioning of these systems. Furthermore, this study addresses cybersecurity challenges specific to NMGs, such as diverse cyberattack types, detection and mitigation strategies, and the importance of awareness training. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for NMG researchers and practitioners, emphasizing critical aspects that must be considered to ensure the safe and efficient operation of these systems.

“…The existing current response-based electromechanical breaker (MCB) has its limitations with slow response time and acting only at high peak fault current limit. Later introduced Solid-state circuit breakers (SSCB) have overcome these issues, and they have provided protection schemes for Low Voltage Direct Current (LVDC) and Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) applications [5,6]. Power semiconductor devices like IGBT, IGCT, MOSFET and SCR are gate-driven by fault current sensor circuits, which are fast response and efficient circuit breakers [7].…”

In the advent of recent developments in a higher efficiency Direct Current (DC) system, the DC microgrid proves to be a permissible future to match the load demand with distributed power generation. The distribution of the DC power system benefits more than the Alternate Current (AC) power system, and due to recent developments, many researchers focus on DC microgrid. DC microgrid system has the advantage of direct interfacing with Renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems (ESS), making the system highly efficient and distinct. Since the protective devices used in AC power systems do not support DC applications, there are challenges in designing and implementing a proper protection device for DC microgrid, which includes the breaking of fault current and the rapid response in handling fault current, capability to overcome the fault and cost of implementing. Unlike traditional circuit breakers that work with a fixed voltage source, Z-Source Breakers are capable of interrupting current in systems with variable voltage sources, making it appropriate for applications involving renewable energy sources, microgrids and energy storage systems. These breakers use a unique Z-Source network to provide enhanced flexibility and reliability in managing electrical faults in modern power grids. This study intends to analyses the recent growth in the impedance-based DC circuit breaker and DC microgrid's fault characteristics.
