Microgrid
A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [2] [3] A ''stand-alone microgrid'' or ''isolated microgrid'' only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [4]Very small microgrids are called nanogrids.
Modeling and simulation of a micro grid-connected solar PV system
The Egyptian government expects the renewable energy sector to produce 20% of total power generation by 2020 (pwc and EVERSHEDS, 2015).Solar generation is supported by the country''s geographical location and the amount of solar radiation it receives throughout the year, this amounts to 3500 h per year of high intensity solar radiation (Ahmad and Schmid, 2001).
