Abstract - A microgrid is a local distribution system
connecting local renewable energy sources and loads. A
smart grid is a national electricity network that uses digital
and other advanced technologies to monitor and manage
the transport of electricity from all generation sources and
loads, including the microgrids, to meet the varying
electricity demands of end users. This paper deals with the
control of microgrid system by using bidirectional PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) technique by utilizing renewable
energy resources wirelessly through mobile phone using
Bluetooth. All the wired and wireless devices of the system is
controlled by a microcontroller, ARM 7 (LPC2148). The
result of the designed converter is verified using the
hardware. Assuming for an industrial control system, the
design is simulated in the SCADA software and results are
observed.
Key Words: Microgrid, PWM, Wireless control, SCADA,

1. INTRODUCTION
A grid remarkable in its intelligence and
impressive in its scope which offers valuable technologies
that can be developed within the very near future or are
already developed today[1]. It simply means a Dzsmarterdz
power grid.Smart grids co-ordinate the needs and
capabilities of all generators, grid operators, end-users and
electricity market stakeholders to operate all parts of the
system as efficiently as possible, minimizingcosts and
environmental impacts while maximizing system
reliability, resilience and stability.
Smart grid establishes a two-way communication
between the utilities and the customer and reduces the
stress on the power system infrastructure. Smart grid
integrates all sources of energy, mainly renewable energy.
2. MICROGRID
Microgrids are electricity distribution systems
containing loads and distributed energy sources (such as
distributed generators, storage devices or controllable
loads) that can be operated in a controlled, coordinated
way either as local islanded network or as connected to
the main power network.
From a grid perspective, the microgrid concept is
attractive because it recognizes the reality that the nation’s
distribution system is old, and will change only very
slowly. The microgrid concept enables high penetration of
Distributed Generation without requiring re-design or
re-engineering of the national distribution system itself.

The benefits of using microgrids are improved energy
efficiency, minimization of overall energy consumption,
reduced environmental impact, and improvement of
reliability of supply and network operational benefits such
as loss reduction, congestion relief, voltage control and
security of supply [2].
