What is the research on DC microgrids in China?

From 2009 to 2016, research on DC microgrids in China has gradually involved many different aspects, such as the study of DC microgrid power electronic converters, DC circuit breakers, and other key equipment, as well as operation control technology, protection, and energy management. 1.2 China’s Current and Planned Policies Regarding MG

Why is China still developing a microgrid?

Due to the late start of China’s microgrid development and the relatively immature microgrid technologies and standards, as well as being in the early stages of promoting microgrids, China’s microgrid deployment is still largely in the experimental and exploratory stage.

Where should microgrids be developed?

As such, the areas designated for the development of incremental electricity distribution grids will be ideal venues for the development of microgrid systems. In the current circumstances, electricity transmission and distribution are dominated by state-owned electric utilities ( Mori, 2018, Yuan et al., 2012 ).

How has microgrid policy evolved?

From the initial encouragement and promotion of the development of microgrids, microgrid policy has evolved towards demonstrating the practice of comprehensive energy storage technology applications, creating conditions for the further promotion of microgrid construction.

How microgrids are modifying the traditional structure of the electric distribution grid?

See further details here . Continuously increasing demand of microgrids with high penetration of distributed energy generators, mainly renewable energy sources, is modifying the traditional structure of the electric distribution grid.

How many microgrid projects are funded in North America?

North America leads with 149 microgrid projects in various states. Under different framework programs (FP5, FP6 and PF7) more than 80 microgrid projects are funded by the European Commission (EC) in different EU member states.
