Abstract

The authors have been carrying out a preliminary study on the design of microgrid. Designing microgrid includes selection and capacity determination of power supply devices according to their response characteristics, efficiency and initial cost, and development of methods for integrated control to maintain power quality and efficiency. Both design and control methods depend on conditions of loads, for which microgrid is installed. In this paper, design methods of microgrid, such as power demand analysis, response characteristics measurement of power sources and fuel efficiency measurement of engine-generators, and integrated control methods for power sources are proposed, along with experimental results for a prototype of microgrid.
