Microgrid is one of the solutions for meeting the energy demand. Further,
microgrid also reduces the losses especially during the distribution. However,
several issues are to be handled to integrate different sources in microgrid.
Moreover, integrating microgrid to utility grid is challenging and several
factors need to be taken care of, especially not to lose synchronism and
stability.
