 INTRODUCTION

• A microgrid is a localized group of generating, storage and loads

coupled to a centralized grid.
 LITERATURE SURVEY

1) “DC is the Future”, 2020- The paper aims to summarize the technical
development and problems facing the utilization of AC during wide scale
electrification of the world using numerous DERs.

2) “Risked-Baded Energy Management”,2019- The book defines the

problems and challenges of DC, AC and hybrid microgrids and considers the
right tectics and risked based scheduling to tackle them.

3) “DC Microgrid Design, Control and Analysis”- In this paper a completer

design and analysis of a standalone PV system with DC microgrid is
proposed.

4) “Microgrid architecture control and operation” In Hybrid Renewable

Energy Systems in microgrids, 2018- This paper discussed the challenges of
accommodating small sized renewable sources. AC, DC and hybrid
microgrids are proposed.

Difference Between AC and DC Microgrid

AC Microgrid
• AC bus is used for
interconnection.
• Low conversion efficiency
• No inverter is required for
AC loads
• Difficult controllability
• Lower initial investment
DC Microgrid
• DC bus is used for
interconnection.
• High conversion efficiency
• Inverter is required for AC
loads
• Convenient controllability
• Higher initial investment
Advantages and disadvantages of DC
microgrid

Advantages Disadvantages
• Increased Efficiency • Unfamiliarity
• No Harmonics • High initial cost
• Fewer Components
• Unavailability of proper
• Reduced Carbon Footprint
technicians
 Future Scope
• Application in commercial environment

• Application in domestic environment

• Increased interest due to efficiency
