Adaptive load control of microgrids with non-dispatchable generation

Intelligent appliances have a great potential to provide energy storage and load shedding for power grids. Microgrids are simulated with high levels of wind energy penetration. Frequency-adaptive intelligent appliances are deployed and optimized within the simulation, indicating the usefulness and feasibility of these loads on microgrids. The economic feasibility and implementation of these appliances is also discussed.
