Regulatory and policy frameworks are crucial in facilitating the growth and acceptance of microgrids. However, several challenges related to these frameworks need to be addressed. One of the primary issues is the variation in regulations that govern microgrids across different countries and states.
The insights from various case studies demonstrate the potential of microgrids in providing cost-effective electricity while being sustainable. Microgrids have emerged as a promising solution to address energy access challenges in developing countries and enhance the resiliency and efficiency of electrical grids in developed countries .
Microgrid control systems: typically, microgrids are managed through a central controller that coordinates distributed energy resources, balances electrical loads, and is responsible for disconnection and reconnection of the microgrid to the main grid. Load: the amount of electricity consumed by customers.
These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
While some regulations prohibit microgrids from operating independently in "island mode," larger microgrids may be allowed to connect to the grid and sell or purchase excess electricity. However, the lack of clear instructions on connecting microgrids to the grid has led to high costs, complexity, and, in some cases, outright prohibition.
