Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication PrinciplesA review on key issues of microgrid

Due to ever increasing energy demand and expectation, the renewable distributed generation (DG) sources such as fuel cells, wind and solar has received a great attention. Microgrid can be viewed as a cluster of loads and parallel DG units installed at consumer's sites. Microgrid has remained as promising research area for many researchers due to many reasons. This paper presents a critical survey on some of the key issues of microgrid operating in grid connected and islanding mode of operation.
