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].
This study provides an up-to-date review of the standardization of DC microgrids in buildings, beginning with a definition of DC power distribution in terms of architecture, voltage levels, sources, storage, and loads. . Resilience, efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, security, and reliability are key drivers for microgrid developments. This complexity ranges. . The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the leading global organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. The technical content of IEC publications is kept under constant review by the IEC. It covers and compares technology standards from various regions and. .
