4 FAQs about Microgrid Clustering Technology

What is a microgrid cluster?

A microgrid cluster can be identified as one of the layouts depicted in Fig. 4. Fig. 4. Layout architectures. The Parallel Connected Microgrids with an external grid (PCM) layout, represented in Fig. 4 (a), refers to an structure in which all microgrids are connected to the same external grid, where each microgrid has only one PCC.

Which concepts affect microgrid cluster performance?

Three main concepts that can potentially affect the microgrid cluster performance are identified and classified into (i) the layout, (ii) the line technology and (iii) the interconnection technology. Then, the possible architectures within these concepts are identified and defined.

What is the protection system for a cluster of microgrids?

In the present study, the protection system for the cluster of microgrids is studied and treated according to the three defined architecture levels, being the layout, the line technology and the interconnection technology. 4.3.1. Layout The layout defines how microgrids are interconnected.

How can interconnection technology benefit a cluster of microgrids?

The profitability of communication devices in a cluster of microgrids is clearly benefited from installing such flexible and controllable power electronics as interconnection technology.

Introduction to microgrid clusters
