It is envisioned that fossil fuel-based centralized power generation will gradually be replaced with renewable distributed generation. A number of computational and communication-based challenges must be addressed to materialize this vision. It will be required to process a large volume of real-time data to control a large population of DERs. Traditional centralized approaches collect and process data in the central unit, which is not always practical because of the resulting communication overhead and network constraints. By contrast, distributed approaches dispense with the notion of having a central unit and manage and process data locally. However, they are required to have a certain level of resiliency to communication latency and data packet losses in the communication channels in order to be able to operate over practical communication networks. Integration of DERs has also been facilitated through the deployment of microgrids. Despite their relatively small physical footprint, achieving stable operation of microgrids requires addressing certain stability issues that are far less prevalent in the bulk power grid. In contrast with the bulk power grid, microgrids mostly rely on inertialess renewable energy resources interfaced with power electronics. Lack of rotational inertia has raised various concerns about microgrid stability and synchronization of distributed generators. On the other hand, inertialess generators exhibit a much shorter response time and provide more flexibility at managing energy demand and generation. Stability concerns have motivated development of novel control schemes that take advantage of these features and provide fast response to mitigate low inertia impacts.
