Optimal Operating Strategies for the Integration of Distributed Power Generation with Microgrid-A Review

The energy demand is sharply increasing due to industrialization, huge population growth, and increased comfort lives etc. This energy demand mostly extracts from the fossil fuels which is non-renewable and the known reservoirs expected to finish in near future. The whole world may face energy crisis soon, altogether the fossil fuel produces greenhouse gasses (GHG) which cause the climate change. This is detrimental for the countries whose economy mostly leans on the per capita consumption of energy. That’s why it is highly required to exploit the renewable energy sources (RES) and generate power at its maximum limit to strive with a faster increase in demand for electrical energy. Moreover, the worldly scenario of economical and constitutional conditions suggest that developing countries like India which has a vast resource of renewable energy must develop its renewable energy resources technologies. The renewable energy resources include solar photovoltaic, geothermal, tidal, wind energy, hydroelectricity, fuel cell and biomass, these resources have vast scope for power generation in India. Out of these energy resources, solar photovoltaic technology is very useful especially for remote areas, where it is expensive to have grid lines. In this paper, optimal operating strategies of solar photovoltaic (SPV) generation is discussed. This composition is essentially divided into the following three main categories namely: effective energy storage systems, system design, and methods to adjust active and reactive power for mitigating the voltage rise issue, the technoeconomic practicability of solar photovoltaic power generation.
