| Summary: | Microgrid is a new concept in power generation. The Microgrid concept assumes a cluster of loads
and micro sources operating as a single controllable system that provides both power and heat to
its local area. Not much is known about Microgrid behavior as a whole system. Some models exist
which describe the components of a Microgrid. In this paper, model of Microgrids with steady state
and their transient responses to changing inputs are presented. Current models of a fuel cell, microturbines, wind turbine and solar cell have been discussed. Finally a complete model built of
Microgrid including the power sources, their power electronics, and a load and mains model in
MATLAB/Simulink is presented.
