1. Overview of Microgrids. The U.S. Department of Energy defines microgrids as "a group of inter-connected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid."78 In short, microgrids are small grids.
Irrigation, electric motors, lighting, and other uses of electricity are all becoming increasingly reliant on energy from the sun, making it increasingly vital to integrate solar systems into rural microgrids. In this research, we propose the modelling and management of a non-linear DC/DC converter for use in a photovoltaic (PV)-based microgrid. The primary …
