Sažetak
The share of renewable energy sources in electric power systems around the world is rapidly increasing and this trend is expected to continue in the future. The predictability of power sources (location and levels of power injections) decreases when a significant amount of variable power generation is connected to the system. To managed this problem modern power system has to be more flexible and the system operators have to make the grid smarter, safer, reliable and more cost-effective using advanced sensors, communication technologies and distributed computing. Several reports and documents indicate that development of Smart Grids and related technologies will be a key component in successful integration of renewables. Smart grid is a concept with many elements where monitoring and control of each element in the chain of generation, transmission, distribution and end-use allow our electricity delivery and use more efficient. Distributed generation is seen by many as the electricity production paradigm of the new millennium and has the potential to provide primary energy saving and emission reduction relative to conventional separate generation. The power/energy a single distributed generation unit can provide to the system is rather small, thus there is a need for an aggregated market subject called a virtual power plant, which is linking-up multiple small distributed power sources like wind turbines, combined heat and power units, photovoltaic systems, etc. Combination of the virtual power plant and/or distributed generation with energy storage systems and flexible loads (like electrical vehicles) form microgrid. The main goal of the microgrid components is to provide flexibility. This flexibility can be analyzed from two perspectives, defining two operating principles of each microgrid: independently from the distribution grid and connected, interacting and responding to signals from the upstream system.
