6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic microgrids popularize electrification]

How can a microgrid improve the reliability of solar PV?

In order to overcome the problems associated with the intermittency of solar PV and enhance the reliability, energy storage systems like batteries and/or backup systems like diesel generators are commonly included in the microgrids [11, 12].

What is a technical assessment for a solar PV-based microgrid?

Technical assessment is based on the nature of the energy sources and the load of the microgrid. For a solar PV-based microgrid, the main technical aspects that are necessary to be considered include rating of PV modules, tilt angle, fill factor, MPPT, PV efficiency, and efficiencies of the power electronic converters.

What makes a microgrid a good investment?

Power Electronics: Microgrids frequently use power electronics converters like DC/AC or DC/AC/DC to interact with the power system, such as solar PV or microturbines. Controls and functionality: Microgrids have unique regulatory needs and techniques that help them achieve local balance and maximize their financial gains.

Are microgrids a viable alternative to the power grid?

Apart from the grid connected ones, microgrids are becoming an alternative means for electrifying rural communities where the extension of the power grid are not possible and the transport of the fuels is costly and difficult [6, 7].

Do PV based microgrids have a negative environmental impact?

Moreover, battery energy systems are also reported to have negative environmental impacts, which is also required to be taken into consideration while sizing/designing a PV-based microgrid [48 - 50]. In Figure 3, the common design considerations for PV based microgrids have been summarised.

What is a microgrid power distribution system?

Microgrids are power distribution systems that can operate either in a grid-connected configuration or in an islanded manner, depending on the availability of decentralized power resources, such as sustainable or non-sustainable power sources, battery backup systems, and power demands.
