Microgrids - Objectives
▪ Improves the resilience of the nation’s electric distribution infrastructure
▪ Operates in and seamless transition between “islanded” and “grid
parallel” modes
▪ Provides interconnection and interoperability for smart grids
▪ Provides cybersecurity for performance and data
▪ Supports power quality enhancements for connected loads
▪ Provides two-way communications (frequency, verification, data latency)
▪ Provides data management and system predictions
▪ Provides Volt/VAR/frequency controls and support for interconnectivity
and island
▪ Enables dynamic local feeder reconfiguration
▪ Improves reliability for critical loads
▪ Provides outage management (i.e., number, duration, and extent)
▪ Balances distributed and central control
▪ Enables price-driven demand response
▪ Reduces peak loads for the interconnected grid
▪ Integrates with intermittent and variable output renewables
▪ Defers generation, transmission, and distribution investments
How Does A Microgrid Work?
▪ The traditional grid connects homes, businesses and other
buildings to central power sources.
▪ when part of the grid needs to be repaired, everyone is affected.
▪ Microgrid generally operates while connected to the grid, but
importantly, it can break off and operate on its own using local
energy generation in times of crisis like storms or power
outages, or for other reasons.
▪ Microgrids fueled by:
▪ Distributed generators
▪ Batteries
▪ Renewable resources
Why Would A Community Choose To
Connect To Microgrids?
▪ It provides backup for the grid in case of emergencies.
▪ It can be used to cut costs.
▪ Allows communities to be more energy independent.
▪ It can be connected to a local resource that is too small or
unreliable for traditional grid use

Loads
The reference speed from MPPT and actual speed, are compared and then the speed
error is applied to PIC of speed PIC(ω) and also to the novel single variable tuned FLC
block.
• The PIC is used to track the reference speed for the rotor of DFIG.
Input membership function
The tuned proportional and integral gains, are applied to PIC of
speed to generate reference q component of rotor i*qr
The active reference part of stator current i*qs is related with the iqr
as follows.
The reference stator currents i*sa, i*sb, and i*sc are brought in
comparison to sensed stator winding currents isa, isb and isc, then the
current error is applied to the hysteresis band current control, which
produces pulses for IGBT devices within the LSC.
