Abstract

Microgrids are future modernized power systems and its deployment is rapidly emerging. Microgrids offer improved power quality, decreased carbon dioxide emissions and cost. Microgrid systems are more than capable of functioning in dissimilar methods namely grid-connected and islanded operation method. However, an effective application and operation of this mode is completely dependent on a proper control strategies of microgrids with some of the strategies being reviewed in this paper. Various researchers have outlined different microgrid control strategies and challenges. Conclusively, with a careful selection of the suitable control strategies for different microgrid configurations, a microgrid system can independently operate in a standardized mode.
