READ MORE1. Introduction. Since multiple islands contain abundant renewable energy for clean power generation, many demonstration projects of island microgrids (IMGs) have been developed in recent years, e.g., Nanji IMG and Dongfushan IMG [1].Geographically, certain IMGs are close and have complementary characteristics.
READ MOREMicrogrids are decentralized and autonomous systems that generate, distribute, and manage power locally. They can be found on islands, as well as on the mainland. Especially islands understand the importance of a clean and reliable energy system, as they often hold a unique ecosystem. However, due to their remote location and scarce resources
READ MOREThe growth of local renewable energy sources and heavy loads in power distribution networks, such as the increasing electric vehicles charging stations, causes several issues with a direct impact on the stability of the
READ MOREThe electrical grid exists to supply our electricity demand, ensuring the two are balanced and connecting electrical supply to electrical demand with the transmission and distribution system. In practice, a microgrid works in the exact same way, just for a smaller geographic area, like a couple of buildings or a local community.
READ MOREMicrogrids are small networks that work as a cluster of loads and micro-sources operating as a single controllable network that produces and distribute power in remote areas such as villages, industrial complexes or even in remote islands [9], [10]. Microgrids have the ability to be grid-connected, where the system is able to connect to
