What technologies are needed to develop China's microgrids?

The key technologies for the development of China’s microgrids that require further special attention are control technology, intelligent protection technology, power electronics technology, renewable energy technology and energy storage technology. (1) Control technology

Which re technologies are considered for optimal sizing microgrid configuration?

Diverse RE technologies such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, biomass, batteries, wind turbines, and converters are considered for system configuration to obtain this goal. Net present cost (NPC) is this study’s objective function for optimal sizing microgrid configuration.

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.

Are there bottlenecks in the development of Microgrid technology in China?

Although the development of microgrid technology in China has achieved some remarkable results, there are many bottlenecks in the comprehensive application and operation and control mode of microgrids involving advanced power electronics, computer control, communications and other technologies.

What are the different types of microgrid projects in China?

In China, the microgrid projects that have been completed can be divided into island microgrids, remote areas microgrids, and urban area microgrids based on their geographic locations.

Can DC microgrids be used in China?

Although research and applications of DC microgrids in China start later, a good progress has been achieved. In March 2014, China’s first practical building integrated photovoltaic DC microgrid system ran successfully. The DC micro-grid locates at the campus of Xiang’an Energy Engineering, Xiamen University.
