Enhancing AC Microgrid Surveillance and Security with Micro PMUs

The development of microgrids represents a critical turning point in reducing the effects of dispersed generation and offers a strong and effective means of encouraging sustainable energy use and improving the dependability of the power supply. Essentially, a microgrid is a small energy supply system that usually consists of distributed generation (DG) sources, loads, storage units, energy conversion devices, and monitoring and protection systems. Because of its flexibility, it can be used for both integrated and islanded operations, making it a control unit that can function independently of the main grid.
