6 FAQs about [Microgrid research in Europe]

Are microgrids legal in the EU?

In the EU, various Member States (MS) have implemented microgrids to test the system, such as the Netherlands, Germany, and Greece. 1 However, EU law lacks a clear legal definition and regulation of microgrids.

How many microgrid projects are funded by the European Commission?

Under different framework programs (FP5, FP6 and PF7) more than 80 microgrid projects are funded by the European Commission (EC) in different EU member states. In addition, Horizon 2020 is a seven years (2014 to 2020) funded project for research and innovation program with almost €77 billion of funding.

Are there specific regulations on distributed energy generation & microgrids in the EU?

There are no specific regulations and policies formulated on the utilization and deployment of distributed energy generation and microgrids in the EU.

What is the regulatory approach to microgrids?

In addition, the regulatory approach towards microgrids depends on EU Member States granting energy communities the right to manage part of the distribution network, which now depends on the discretion of the Member States.

What is a microgrid?

The term “microgrid” refers to the concept of a small number of DERs connected to a single power subsystem. DERs include both renewable and /or conventional resources . The electric grid is no longer a one-way system from the 20th-century . A constellation of distributed energy technologies is paving the way for MGs , , .

Is microgrid a viable platform for DER integration?

5. Conclusions The microgrid concept is providing the platform to rapidly increasing distributed electricity generation and delivery with cost effectiveness and environmental protection. For successful DER integration, proper operation and control, protection and stability need all be implemented for feasible microgrid operation.
