There are many advantages which provide both from consumers and from the utility by implementation of microgrid systems. Due to many advantages of microgrid, the development carried out by the various countries of the world. The microgrid has better quality and it is also more environments friendly. DSTATCOM is a powerful tool for improvement the performance of microgrid. Index Terms- Microgrid, REC, D-STATCOM and Distribution Network I. INTRODUCTION The fossil fuel energy sources are the main energy supplier worldwide, however, the environmental issues with the conventional energy resources has led to the development and implementation of renewable energy sources, such as, solar, wind, hydropower, energy storage etc. in the supply network. The increasing number of the distribution generations (DGs) penetration in the electric power system and the electrical proximity among interconnected DGs in the network, has paved the way for the microgrid system [1]. Distributed generation means small generation (50 or 100MW) units installed on particular points of distribution system. While the term DG can be integrated for supplying the generation to consumer. In distribution systems, Distributed generation can provide benefits to the utilities as well as for the consumers. A distributed power generation unit can be connected directly to the utility’s transmission or distribution system or to consumer side [2]. The power quality and voltage profile is the main issue of integration of Distributed Generation (DG) to distribution network. Distributed generation is being very popular throughout the world due to environment awareness and its benefits. The power quality and voltage profile is the main issue of integration of Distributed Generation (DG) to distribution network. The literature survey shows that the great influence of the location of fault on the voltage sag of the buses due to the electrical distance between the buses [3]. Distributed energy resource (DER) is the group of various green energy resources viz. renewable energy generators, PV solar energy, wind energy, electric storage and electric vehicles (EVs). These energy resources are located to the low voltage feeders at consumer’s premises. Now-a-days, PV solar technology is the hot area for generation of green energy. The photovoltaic (PV) cells will become the major part of distributed generation from between 2010 and 2019. Electric distribution networks are a main key of the infrastructure which supports to the industrial, commercial, and residential facilities. The present Indian Power system is facing the no. of various difficulties viz. infrastructure, power quality, reliability and big gap between demand and generation [4]. Nowadays, these difficulties can be rectifying by development of renewable, distributed generation and deployment of Microgrids and Smart Grid. II. MICROGRID Now-a-days, the microgrid is not a new concept, but the microgrid is a modern structure of present power system. Microgrid is a small-scale power system, including distributed generation, energy storage and load [5]. The definition of microgrid as per US Department of Energy (DOE): ―Microgrid‖ means a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid and that connects and disconnects from such grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or ―island‖ mode. A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that act as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid [7]. The application of microgrids to provide the continuous power to remote communities during an outage of indefinite duration [6].The Microgrid technology has been developed very fast in recent years with the trend of the integration of renewable resources and distributed generation with distribution systems, [8-12]. Microgrid can be operated in the grid-connected and the islanded mode [13]. Residential microgrids are mainly based on renewable energy sources (i.e., mainly on photovoltaic panels), energy storage systems (that enable time-shift between production and consumption), and on power converters representing control points that by proper operation ensure overall system stability and quality of power supply [14]. Basic Component of Microgrid: The microgrid systems containing distributed power, energy conversion system (Power Conversion System, PCS), a local load, SCADA, microgrid central controller, microsource controller, load controllers, mode controller and other secondary devices. A typical microgrid structure and equipment deployment shown in Figure 1.
