Micro Grid
INDIA
M O D E S & C O N T R O L
Definition
A microgrid is a self-contained electrical grid that
can operate independently from the main power
grid. It typically consists of a small group of
distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar
panels, wind turbines, and batteries, that can History
provide power to a localized area, such as a
community, business, or campus. Early 1900s: First microgrids developed to power remote
communities.
1970s: Renewed interest in microgrids to reduce reliance
on foreign oil and promote energy security. Experimental
microgrids developed, including some powered by
renewable energy sources.
Early 2000s: Resurgence of interest in microgrids to
improve reliability and resilience of the electrical grid.
Today: Microgrids being deployed all over the world in a
variety of applications, including powering remote
communities, providing backup power to critical facilities,
and integrating renewable energy sources into the grid.

INDIA’s Progress
In October 2023, the Indian government launched the Smart Grid
National Mission (SGNM) Phase II with a budget of ₹1.64 lakh crore. The
mission aims to improve the reliability and efficiency of the power grid,
promote the integration of renewable energy sources, and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
In September 2023, the Indian government announced that it will invest
₹20,000 crore in the development of smart grids in five cities:
Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.
In August 2023, the Indian government announced that it will set up a
National Smart Grid Research and Innovation Center to develop new
smart grid technologies and to promote the adoption of smart grid
solutions.
In July 2023, the Indian government announced that it will launch a pilot
project to demonstrate the feasibility of using blockchain technology to
improve the efficiency and security of the power grid.

Operating Modes
Grid-Connected Mode
Specifications: In grid-connected mode, the microgrid is connected
to the main power grid. This allows the microgrid to import and
export power to the main grid. Microgrids are typically operated in
grid-connected mode during normal operation.
Island Mode
Specifications: In island mode, the microgrid is disconnected from
the main power grid and operates independently. Microgrids are
typically operated in island mode during power outages or other
grid disturbances.
Operating Modes specs
Flexibility refers to the ability of the microgrid to adapt to changes in demand and supply.
Scalability refers to the ability of the microgrid to be expanded or contracted to meet changing
needs.
Environmental impact refers to the impact of the microgrid on the environment.
To
Reason for Consideration: Affects the safety and reliability of the power system.
Frequency
Description: The frequency of the power system.
Consider Reason for Consideration: Affects the speed at which motors and generators
operate.
While Power Balance
Description: The balance between the power generated and the power consumed.
Changing Reason for Consideration: To prevent blackouts and other disturbances.
Power Quality
Modes microgrid.
Reliability
Description: The ability of the microgrid to provide power to customers even
during disturbances.
Reason for Consideration: To ensure a continuous and uninterrupted power
supply.
Cost
Description: The cost to build and operate the microgrid.
Reason for Consideration: To ensure the affordability of the microgrid.
Controls In
Islanding Mode
Centralized Control
Specifications: A single controller is responsible for coordinating the
operation of all devices in the microgrid.
Description: Centralized controls are simple to implement and operate.
However, they can be vulnerable to failures and can be difficult to scale
to large microgrids.
Decentralized Control
Specifications: Each device in the microgrid is responsible for its own
operation and communicates with other devices to coordinate the
overall operation of the microgrid.
Description: Decentralized controls are more resilient to failures and
can be more easily scaled to large microgrids. However, they can be
more complex to implement and operate.
Hybrid Control
Specifications: A combination of centralized and decentralized controls.
Description: Hybrid controls offer the advantages of both centralized
and decentralized controls. They are more resilient to failures and can
be more easily scaled to large microgrids, while still being relatively
simple to implement and operate.
