Such sub-systems are called smart microgrids and consist of energy consumers and producers at a small scale and are able to manage themselves. Examples for smart microgrids are households, villages, industry sites, or a university campus. . Smart grid and microgrid technology each have their own respective applications and while the names may seem similar, they are two very different concepts It's crucial to understand both grid types as they are essential components of grid resiliency and reliability. The main difference between the. . Historically all power flowed from transmission to distribution, distributed generation is creating potential bi-directional power flows and forcing utilities to implement more intelligent distribution networks. It should be tailored based on a Why do we need a smarter grid? The Power Grid is Changing. . This paper describes microgrids in the smart grid architecture, autonomous systems interacting through the Energy Services Interface as defined by the OASIS Energy Interoperation [1] specification. We define for the purposes of system architecture what a microgrid is. Based on a review of the literature and technical solutions, the characteristics have been classified and, emphasising. .
