Abstract

The increasing electrification of daily life and the growing number of sensitive or critical loads have led to a rising demand for high-quality electricity and overall energy consumption. Customer demands for increased generating capacity and efficient energy production, distribution, and utilization are driven by the global increase in energy consumption and the depletion of fossil resources. The concept of the microgrid holds promise for addressing significant issues arising from the widespread use of distributed generation in distribution networks. To ensure successful microgrid operation, an appropriate control strategy is essential. MATLAB and other software can be used for simulating and evaluating various load models. This article provides an overview of the previous research on microgrids.

Keywords
