Abstract

Today, and mainly in the academic environment, one of the fields of study that is receiving the most attention, in reference to electrical microgrids (MGs), is precisely how to integrate all the elements of the MGs to maintain a stable operation, resilient, reliable and quality. This can be achieved through power converters, which allow for the decentralization of electricity generation, but on the other hand, create the challenge of power quality. In this paper, a model of an MG based on the IEEE 14–Bus distribution network is proposed for power quality studies when the MG operates in grid–connected mode. MG model is developed in the software MATLAB–Simulink® and the results obtained are compared with the compatibility levels of the IEEE–519 standard.
