Microgrid Definition
Distributed energy resources and loads that can be operated in a controlled, coordinated way either connected to the main power grid or in “islanded”* mode. Microgrids are low or medium voltage grids without power transmission capabilities and are typically not geographically spread out.

System Average Interruption Duration Index System Average Interruption Frequency Index System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI): The sum of the number of interrupted customers for each power outage greater than five minutes during a given period, divided by the total number
expressed in the average number of outages per year System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI): The sum of the restoration time for each sustained interruption multiplied by the sum of the number of customers interrupted, divided by the total number
expressed in average minutes per year According to IEEE, North American utilities have the SAIFI median value of 1.10 interruptions per customer per year and the SAIDI median value of 90 minutes per customer per year System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI)

Does voltage regulation impact….
US Solar Global Horizontal Irradiance Map with Planned and Operating Solar Generating Units (By ABB AbilityTM Velocity Suite)
Over Voltage: The PV generation increases the line voltage at the feed-in point. Voltage Fluctuations: Clouds cause frequent voltage changes. Voltage regulators have ~30 second operational delay. In the existence of solar PV, VRs need to get replaced every year due to hundreds
thousands
(mechanical switching) per year.

The operation and maintenance cost is increased due to the voltage issues occurred by PV integration. Distribution utility pays the investment for capacity upgrades. This covers the load growth during the project duration considering the lead time. Distribution utility pays for the capacity charge and transmission charge related to the peak demand.
