Abstract
The growth of the application of dispersed energy resources (DERs)—which is a diverse definition that includes both energy storage systems (ESSs) and distributed generators (DGs), with an emphasis on those based on renewable energy sources (RESs)—and the corresponding use of highly efficient control systems for DERs are fostering a growing presence of the microgrid topology in distribution systems.
