HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
Considering the significant increase in projects and initiatives in Europe on microgrids connected to the distribution grid, CIRED launched a working group to address the topic of the technical requirements for the operation of microgrids in both interconnected and islanded modes. The work of this working group started in January 2019 and finished in February 2021. This paper summarizes the content of the report. It aims at providing recommendations on lessons learned from a selected representative and complementary panel of real-life existing demonstration (mostly full scale). The group also took advantage of past projects from where real site conclusions were obtained as well as the expertise within the working group, to guarantee a report with practical conclusions on top of a synthetic state of art. Several microgrid demonstration were identified as top tier projects, covering a wide scope of applications. Among others, the WG studied the deployed assets, the modes of operation, the obtained results and conclusions and mostly the technical lessons learned, i.e., what would be needed to generalize such demonstrator in a daily life operation of a distribution grid (mostly excluding economic, social and environmental criteria).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
