What are Industrial microgrids?

As a local power grid, industrial microgrids cooperate with large power grids to provide reliable electricity for industries, which reduces electricity costs and industrial greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emissions and improves air quality.

What are the applications of microgrids?

Figure 1. Applications of Microgrid. Governmental initiatives that encourage the establishment of microgrids based on renewables, many of which adapt to distributed applications, have also been prompted by the task to improve the resilience of power networks by maintaining continuity in supply and encouraging prosumers.

How to promote microgrids in China?

Policies related to microgrids have been promulgated continuously, lists of related demonstration projects for microgrids application have been announced regularly, and pilot projects have been established one after the other, laying the foundation for the full promotion of microgrids in China.

What is microgrid control technology?

(1) Control technology The State Grid Fujian Electric Power Research Institute has proposed a microgrid structure and control method based on solid-state switches, droop control, source-load balance and DC convergence.

What role will microgrids play in the future power grid?

As an important part of the smart grid of the future, microgrids will play an important role in the future power grid by taking advantage of its strengths such as accommodation of diversification of energy forms, flexibility of grid connection interfaces, customization of power quality, and bi-directional energy information flow.

Where did research on Microgrid technology start?

Research on microgrid technologies started relatively late in China. Compared with the huge research teams composed of research institutions, manufacturers and power companies in developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, there is still a big gap in research strength and research results in China.
