ABSTRACT

Innovations in technologies, economic benefits, quality requirements and environmental

concerns are changing the face of the existing power system. Centralized generating
facilities are giving way to smaller, more distributed generation partially due to the loss of
traditional economies of scale. The need of an intelligent grid, better known as Micro grid
at the distribution end, has been recognized to accommodate distributed energy resources
(DERs) and renewable energy technologies on large scale. Micro grids can provide
improved electric service reliability and better power quality to end customers and can
also benefit local utilities by providing dispatch able load for use during peak power
conditions or allowing system repairs without effecting customer loads. This report
highlights the concept, benefits and features of Micro Grids.
