Analysis of electrical microgrids and associated technologies

Abstract

This paper focuses on the most relevant aspects on the energy generation and storage technologies integration into electrical microgrids (MGs) structures. In this sense, the most important characteristics associated with electric generation resources proposed for this type of grids are reviewed. Additionally, energy storage technologies are analysed for the most appropriate integration into MGs. Finally, the manuscript reviews the most outstanding MGs developed around the world that include the integration of the most advanced generation and storage technologies.
