Barriers to microgrid implementation
The extensive implementation of microgrid infrastructure is affected by the existing policies and regulatory frameworks that favor traditional centralized power systems, lacking adequate support
The main aim of this research is to identify the common barriers and ultimate success factors to implementing a microgrid in the real world. We found that microgrids vary significantly depending on location, components, and optimization goals, which cause them to experience different types of challenges and barriers.
The main financial barrier is still the burden of high investment and replacement costs of the microgrid. This can be resolved with proper market support in the short term and might naturally resolve itself through learning over the long run.
Technical and non-technical barriers affecting Smart Microgrids are identified. Regulatory, institutional and social barriers are identified as the main barriers. Barriers are mapped pertaining to various actors in electricity markets. With a multidisciplinary approach interaction between barriers is explained. 1. Introduction
It examines several policies across nations and emphasizes the importance of regulations that address microgrids' techno-economic viability and sustainability, along with the financial and technical barriers to their development.
