READ MOREFootnote 53 Commercial and industrial microgrids generally operate grid-connected and their purpose is to save costs and provide a backup in case of grid issues. According to these authors, community microgrids target enhanced grid stability, but one might rather consider them as microgrids created by energy communities, with the
READ MORETransformers (T/F) are used to maintain the voltage level and to connect AC microgrids with utility, conventional grids, and loads (residential, commercial, and industrial) [4]. Similarly, for the DC distribution network, DC energy sources such as solar PV array and fuel cells are joined through boost converters.
READ MORECommercial building microgrids are typically small microgrids with approximately 1 MW for its peak load which use low voltage distribution system. In most metropolises or even in the medium size cities, commercial buildings are increasing, which constitute a major share of the load demand.
READ MOREMicrogrids are more suitable for commercial systems to service their clients with no service discontinuity. The microgrid enables both connection and disconnection from the grid. That is, the microgrid can operate both in grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. The microgrid controller plays an important role in microgrid systems.
