Introduction Microgrids Microgrids are considered as viable options for electrification where the main grid expansion is either impossible or has no economical justification. The decentralized operation and control of microgrids could also reduce the transmission burden on power utility systems. 3
Introduction Microgrids Microgrids can provide higher reliability and power quality for loads. Once in grid- connected mode, any grid failure will lead to microgrid islanding. In the island mode, the master controller relies on microgrid generation and storage to serve the microgrid load and prevent curtailments. The load restoration procedure in microgrids could depend on the reliability requirements of loads. Microgrid topology could play a crucial role in supplying microgrid loads with diverse reliability requirements. 4
DER in Microgrids Distributed energy resources (DER) in a microgrid would include photovoltaic (PV), small wind turbines (WT), heat or electricity storage, combined heat and power (CHP), and controllable loads. DER applications would increase the efficiency of energy supply and reduce the electricity delivery cost and carbon footprint in a microgrid. DER applications would also make it possible to impose intentional islanding in microgrids. The proximity of generation to loads in microgrids would improve the power quality and reliability (PQR) at load points. 5
Storage in Microgrid Storage devices including batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels could be used to match generation with demand in microgrids. Storage can supply generation deficiencies, reduce load surges by providing ride-through capability for short periods, reduce network losses, and improve the protection system by contributing to fault currents. V2G and EV mobility can reduce the microgrid reliance on the grid supply. 6
Introduction Control Devices Hierarchical control performed by master controller ensures the economical and secure operation of microgrids by maintaining the frequency and voltage in microgrids. Master controller uses SCADA to monitor and regulate frequency and voltage in microgrids according to P-f and Q-V droop characteristics. IIT microgrid is considered as a test-bed to evaluate the effects of intelligent switching and storage implementation on reliability and economic operation of microgrid. 7
High Reliability Distribution System (HRDS) Implementation of microgrid loops is made possible by the use of automatic switches in HRDS. HRDS switches can sense the cable faults and isolate the faulted section with no impact on other sections in a microgrid. Master controller will monitor the status of each HRDS switch using the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Master controller is responsible for economic operation of the microgrid based on signals received from switches on the status of distribution branches. 8

Problem Formulation Random outages of grid-connection facilities, microgrid DG, and microgrid distribution lines are considered. Monte Carlo representation of outages is applied and the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) technique is used to develop a large number of scenarios with equal probabilities. A two-state Markov chain process is utilized to represent microgrid outages according to the microgrid component failure and repair rates. Since the computation time of stochastic optimization is dependent on the number of scenarios, the scenario reduction technique is utilized to reduce the number of generated scenarios to an acceptable level with the corresponding probabilities. 10

Conclusion and Summary Application of HRDS, local generation, and storage is presented and the reliability and economic evaluation of microgrid is evaluated: AC formulation is offered to solve the unit commitment and economic dispatch in microgrids. Integration of HRDS and evaluation of reliability and economic indices of microgrids are considered as compared to those in traditional distribution systems. Provision of stochastic solution to two proposed topologies is considered for the comparison of reliability indices. Assessment of the role of energy storage on the economic operation of microgrids is considered and improved reliability indices at load points are calculated. 40
Conclusion and Summary HRDS will clear the fault faster and has less effect on the stability of the system specially in islanded mode Once islanded, the local generation will maintain the frequency and voltage of the system. In order to synchronize with the main grid, frequency deviation, voltage deviation and voltage angle deviation should be within the acceptable limits. Two generators will share the loads based on their droop characteristics. Once the first generator reaches its maximum capacity the second generator would maintain the frequency of the system by providing enough active power. 41
Conclusion and Summary HRDS and automatic switches can reduce the expected frequency and duration of interruptions and the expected energy not supplied in the system. Storage can reduce the operation cost of the system by demand response and preventing load curtailments. Local generation helps mitigate the expected interruption duration and frequency in the system and improve the reliability of the customers in microgrid. 42
