This paper analyzed the effects of climates on an optimal micro-grid design for 13,844 regions in 218 countries and confirmed the patterns of the sizing of process units based on climate and which regions are susceptible to climate changes.
Design of grid connected microgrid with solar photovoltaic module
Design of microgrid. In Grid connected micro grid emission was almost negligible while in off grid case carbon dioxide emission was calculated to be 1788 kg/yr, followed by Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides of about 7.75 kg/yr and 3.79 kg/yr respectively. These harmful gases will cause pollution in the environment.
Modelling, Design and Control of a Standalone Hybrid PV-Wind Micro-Grid
The problem of electrical power delivery is a common problem, especially in remote areas where electrical networks are difficult to reach. One of the ways that is used to overcome this problem is the use of networks separated from the electrical system through which it is possible to supply electrical energy to remote areas. These networks are called

Microgrid
A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. [2] [3] A ''stand-alone microgrid'' or ''isolated microgrid'' only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [4]Very small microgrids are called nanogrids.
