Abstract
In this paper, Nanogrid System and working is presented for the future sus-
tainable power system. This system is for small scale for smart homes with
decentralized power system. A Nanogrid is the combination of energy system
such as using of sources such as solar cells, fuel cells, micro turbines, wind
turbines, energy storage devices and AC, DC power systems and controllable
loads. This grid may use single mode or island mode with soft switching. The
Dynamic of power system capability increases reliability, in case if one system
fails it switch to other system to continue proving electric power with losing
quality. The energy storage system is used to maintain stability during transi-
tion between the operating modes is emphasized. The Simulink model is used
to present the working of system.

1. Introduction
There are two types of Power generation control systems for the grid such as
centralized and distributed generation. Its mean power can be generated from
the one big source such from big dams in case of hydropower system. In Pakis-
tan, the major source of electricity generation is hydro. These are centralized
power system and not feasible for future power supply system because if this
major source fails then no other source of electricity available for us and its all
depend on fault clearance time. Also there are many issues regarding this system
such as initial cost, maintenance factor and power loss and power balancing is-
