Conclusion
The role of microgrid in the smart grid advancement is crucial.
This technology is not yet mature and still under testing stage.
There are huge variety of microgrid systems
However, the acceptance of microgrid technology and the progression of this
technology stalled due to various reasons:
utility acceptance, high capital cost, exposure to cyber security threat, the underdeveloped
energy storage technology, complex control strategy and integration of the micro-sources (DG).
