Microgrid in future distribution electrical grids

The main focus in this thesis is to evaluate if the microgrids is an option to be utilized for the future in achieving 100% renewable power with a net zero carbon emissions. This is an ongoing goal from the ambitious Swedish energy policy with the main points that was established in the Paris Agreement that is a legally binding international treaty on climate change.Sweden is currently in a good position due to the country’s power system is borderline decarbonized. This is due to the use of the hydropower resources and nuclear power in addition to district heating fueled by biomass. The majority of the electrical production today will need the assistance thus the need for solutions to reach the end goal because majority of the non-environment friendly energy production is being phased out such as nuclear power plants. With this in mind this study will give an overview if microgrids can be utilized, be favorable in an economical sense and to be viewed as its own entity due to its management and control options
