quency and voltage support, active and reactive power control, and better energy management through storage technologies. The proximity of power generation to microgrid
consumptions could result in improved power quality,
lower power losses, better voltage stability, and higher reliability (fewer customer outages) by engaging fewer components and eliminating additional transmission services.
Distributed energy resources (DERs), which include distributed generation (DG), distributed storage, and adjustable
load, are a key component in microgrid operations.
