17PEPE09 DISTRIBUTED GENERATION AND MICROGRID
Syllabus:
UNIT I - INTRODUCTION
Conventional power generation: advantages
and disadvantages, Energy crises, Non- conventional energy (NCE) resources: review of Solar PV, Wind Energy systems, Fuel Cells, micro-turbines, biomass, and
tidal sources.
UNIT II - DISTRIBUTED GENERATIONS
(DG)

standards/ framework, Standards
for
interconnecting Distributed resources to electric power systems: IEEE 1547. DG installation classes,
security issues in DG implementations. Energy storage elements: Batteries, ultra-capacitors, flywheels. Captive power plants
UNIT III - IMPACT
OF GRID INTEGRATION
Requirements for grid interconnection, limits on operational parameters,: voltage, frequency, THD, response to
grid abnormal operating conditions, islanding issues. Impact of grid
integration with NCE sources on existing power system: reliability, stability
and power quality issues.
UNIT IV - BASICS
OF
A MICROGRID
Concept
and definition of microgrid, microgrid drivers
and benefits, review of sources of microgrids, typical
structure
and configuration of a microgrid, AC and DC
microgrids, Power Electronics interfaces in DC
and AC microgrids
UNIT V - CONTROL
AND OPERATION OF MICROGRID
Modes of operation and
control of microgrid: grid connected and islanded mode, Active and
reactive
power control, protection
issues, anti-islanding schemes: passive, active and communication based techniques,
microgrid communication
infrastructure, Power quality
issues in microgrids,
regulatory
standards, Microgrid economics, Introduction to smart microgrids.
