A Systematic Review of Reliability Studies of Grid-Connected Renewable Energy Microgrids

This paper has carried out a comprehensive review of the reliability analysis of microgrid. Survey papers on grid-connected microgrids have reported. In addition, the most applicable indices used in the reliability analyses of microgrids have been investigated. Different techniques used for coupling microgrids have been reported. In the same vein, a survey of different models used for comprehensive reliability analysis of microgrids is also reported. In a similar passion, the most frequent indices used in the reliability evaluations of microgrid have been defined. Different microgrids existing globally have also been presented in the paper. Finally, some future research topics in the area of this research have been identified.
