Historical Background of Smart Microgrid Development
According to Pike Research, the first “modern industrial microgrid in the United States was a 64 MW facility constructed in 1955 at the Whitling Refinery in Indiana,” but most people are not aware the concept is much older. The microgrid concept dates back to the beginning of our. . A microgrid is a mini-version of the electric grid, which fits the “micro” notion, but the origins of the word have been lost in history. At an early stage, there was great uncertainty about which development path would dominate, which is clearly illustrated by the competition between direct and alternating current. It is a smal -scale power system with distributed energy resources. To realize the distributed generation potential,adopting a system where the associated loads and generation are considered. . ary component of smart grid development.
