Abstract
About70 percent of India's energy consumption comes from conventional sources. Only a few important areas are responsible for generating all of this power. After being transmitted to far-flung stations by India's massive grid, the energy is delivered to consumers via a new, distributed system in place. As a result of this, a large amount of energy is squandered. There are frequent power outages and low power quality in places with rough topography, putting the location's reliability at danger.AC and DC generators, as well as loads that can run on both AC and DC electricity, are all part of a microgrid's infrastructure. Alternatively, it might be any of the above-mentioned microgrid configurations. It was a microgrid in this sense because the initial electric power plant was a single powerhouse that only served a few hundred loads at best. If you're using current terminology, a microgrid is an electrical network with its own sources and loads, which isindependentfrom the main electric system. In this case, the microgrid is a preferable option for decreasing transmission and loss across long distances. In the future years, grid stress will be exacerbated by electric vehicles and significant loads on the grid. These resources are dispersed across large areas and can be found in cities. Renewable energy sources include photovoltaics, wind turbines, and a buffer energy source like a battery.In some cases, a non-island microgrid, which requires a grid connection, is also used. It is covered in the simulation design chapter, along with the components' functions. MATLAB software is used to study the micro gird. Providing adequate amounts of electric power to remote or difficult-to-reach areas in order to maintain reliability is tough. Geographically, they aren't suitable for grid power. This study uses the island village of Dharmadam, in Kerala, as a case study.
