Development of smart grid from microgrids: Components and Applications
D Sarathkumar, Raymon Antony Raj
Abstract
Due to increasing the load demand, the conventional power systems dramatically more revolution happened. Till the traditional power system is need to improve in the form of interfacing the advanced electronic components, intelligent sensors and meters, integration of more distributed power sources, minimizing the emission of carbon flue gases, enhancing the speed of power system protection and operational components etc. The problems of microgrid issues have overcome in the previous decades and incorporating the intelligent electronic devices, smart meters in to utilitygrid it forms the smart grid. The aim of this article is to develop the smart grid architecture from micro grid. Initially, the microgrid architecture and its features were explained. By adding some smart features to form the smart grid. Eventually, the challenges in economical a technical problems, standards and regulations was discussed for the upcoming smart grid.
