Operating Strategies for Stabilizing the Operation of a Micro Grid with Various Distributed Generation Sources

Abstract—A micro grid (MG) needs a suitable operating strategy to maintain its operation stably. However, the development of an operating strategy for a MG depends deeply on the type and number of distributed generation sources (DGSs). For this reason, this work develops four operating strategies for a MG with one or multi DGSs. The DGSs in MGs can be sustained energy sources (SESs) or intermittent energy sources (IESs). The proposed operating strategies can be used to maintain the stability of MGs effectively. To examine the practicability of these operating strategies, a sample MG is employed and is simulated via computer software. The important simulation results are presented and discussed in this paper.
