The objective of this article is to present a comparative evaluation and analysis related to the possible application of the main incentive policies, particularly net metering and feed-in tariffs, into microgrid systems. This is done in order to promote their implementation, expansion and consequent integration to medium and low voltage systems. To complement the study carried out, it was deemed essential including the response of the simulations related to the performance of a microgrid during its islanding (pre-planned and unintentional) process from the network. Today, the expectation about the performance of microgrid systems is high, especially if it is considered that its nearest ally, the smart grid technology, is having a rapid development. From the simulations conducted to assess the microgrid dynamic response, it became clear that microgrid systems may face some difficulties including unsuccessful attempts during the islanding process from the network.
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.
