Figure 1 shows a microgrid schematic diagram. The microgrid encompasses a portion of an electric power distribution system that is located downstream of the distribution substation, and it includes a variety of DER units and different types of end users of electricity and/or heat. 2 A microgrid can operate in either grid-connected or in island mode, including entirely off-grid. . Microgrids are localized electrical grids with specific boundaries that function as single controllable entities. Microgrids play a crucial role in enhancing energy system resilience, reliability, and sustainability by offering localized power generation and distribution capabilities.
