Abstract

A microgrid is mostly a portion of the power distribution system that includes distributed generation, energy storage and loads. To be accomplished of working in parallel to the grid, as an independent power island and in transition modes, microgrids must be vigorous in governing the local voltage and frequency, and shielding the network and equipment connected to the microgrid. It also necessities to ease demand side management and resynchronization. This paper presents a review of existing microgrid test networks around the world and some significantly different microgrid simulation networks present in the literature. Paper is focused on the test systems and available microgrid control options. A summary table comparing and contrasting the existing test systems is presented. The paper is concluded highlighting the worthy findings and possible areas of research that would enhance practical use of microgrid facilities.
