4. MicroGrids are defined according to the IEEE Std 1547.4-2011
Guide for Design, Operation, and Integration of DR Island Systems with EPS.
The term DR island systems, sometimes referred to as microgrids, is used for electrical power systems (EPS)
as:
1. Have DR and load
2. Have the ability to disconnect from and parallel with the area EPS include the local EPS and may include
portions of the area EPS, and
3. Include the local EPS and may include
portions of the area EPS, and they are
intentionally planned.
DR island systems can be either
local or area EPS islands

6. Problem: Harmonics in Microgrids
Possible solutions:
- One DG unit could give more harmonics than
another. (harmonic current sharing)
- Voltage Harmonic Reduction (Control strategies
for HC)
Problem: Unbalances in Microgrids
Possible solutions:
- By means of sec. control, PCC voltage
unbalances can be compensated by control
signals to the primary level.
- Voltage Unbalance Compensation (Control
strategies)
Test and verification that the proposed solutions follow the European
power quality standards IEC 61727 and IEC 61000-3-6.

hot water and heat for the villagers.
Many rural Samsingers also install highly efficient
wood boilers in their homes if they cannot be
connected to one of the district heating plants.
