Abstract: In this review, the state of the art of 23 distributed generation and microgrids standards has been analyzed. Among these standards, 18 correspond mainly to distributed generation while five of them introduce the concept of microgrid.
The prosperity of microgrids and distributed energy resources (DER) promotes the standardization of multiple technologies. A sound and applicable standard system will facilitate the development of renewable energy and provide great guiding significance for technology globalization.
Thus, many international microgrid standards are still being developed, several standards are on-going drafting by IEEE and IEC organization, such as self-regulation of dispatchable loads, monitoring and control systems, energy management systems and use case design.
At the level of national standard, only a few countries have ability to independently formulate microgrid related standards. Most countries prefer to choose current IEEE and IEC standards for equivalent conversion as national standards [117, 121, 122].
These are technical specifications applicable to customers or third-party owners of microgrids and there will be no further discussion of Company owned microgrids herein.
