Overview on Microgrid System

Demand of the electricity is increasing day by day due to industrial development and rise in living standards of human beings. The need of electricity can't be fulfilled alone by fossil fuels as they are depleting with passage of time. We have to find out others ways to fulfil the energy demand of such. In recent time, there is research going on in the field of renewable energy which seems to be achieving a great height day by day. Development of smart grid and microgrids are in a full swing. Along with development of distributed generation under smart and microgrid, there is need for managing the energy utilization too. In this paper, various terms related to microgrid, control structure, distributed energy sources and energy management in microgrid etc. are discussed and an overview is given to understand the microgrid.
