Microgrid with distributed generators. Other thesis, Murdoch
University. The principal aim of this project is to study the
energy production by solar energy system in close to the
consumers and integrated into a microgrid. Microgrids are small-
scale versions of today’s huge centralized electricity system,
where it can generate, distribute and regulate the flow of
electricity to consumers. Microgrids are able to feature the
latest smart technology that increases efficiency and
reliability and to create islands of sustainable energy within
the larger grid. The main benefits of microgrids are:
•Microgrids increase power supply reliability. •Microgrids make
it easier to efficiently meet growing consumer demand.
•Microgrids make it possible to deploy clean, renewable energy.
The report gives an overview of the generator technologies, and
discusses the characteristics of a microgrid and the barriers
that have to be overcome if microgrids are to be deployed i
