The Smart MicroGrid based on renewable energies is attracting a great interest as a sustainable solution that provides a cheaper and more reliable alternative to the centralized grid while less environmental impact, and allowing access to electricity, especially for remote areas and the isolated communities of different natures (Industrial, Residentialetc.).
Here, renewable energy microgrids combined with other emerging energy technologies hold a large potential for sustainable remote-area electrification. With 45 million people in Southeast Asia lacking access to electricity and a large number of islands with insufficient and expensive fossil-based power generation, the need to increase renewable

These systems are particularly transformative in remote areas, where extending traditional power lines is prohibitively expensive and logistically complex. In rural Vietnam, microgrids do more
Additionally, it would increase microgrid self-sufficiency and overall RES usage factor while reducing initial investment cost, which would persuade policy/decision-makers to help facilitate small-to medium-scale microgrids, especially for remote areas where 90% of people still have no access to electricity [31, 32].
Whilst some countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam have seen more of a focus on grid extension, other countries are looking to remote microgrids as a key solution: Myanmar, Indonesia and Philippines. Technologies like remote microgrids monitoring and microgrid maintenance are creating opportunities for the development of scaling
To understand the concept of Solar-Powered Microgrids, it is essential to define and explain key terms. Microgrids are localized power grids that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid. Remote communities refer to areas that are geographically isolated and lack access to traditional electricity infrastructure.

The highest potential for microgrid is in remote regions, where grid connection is not possible. The proposed master/slave controller in the microgrid has been successfully demonstrated through OPAL-RT environment for nonlinear loads during transient and steady state conditions. The master controller regulates the voltage and frequency of the

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.
This paper introduces a design procedure to design an isolated microgrid using HOMER software (HOMERPro 3.14.5) for remote areas. In Vietnam, due to the obstruction of the mountainous terrain or the isolated island location, many remote areas or islands need electrification.
By selecting the optimal distributed generators (DGs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) mix selection, siting, sizing, and scheduling in the remote microgrid, the proposed model is targeted to minimize the annualized total cost of microgrids while enhancing the performance of the system, i.e., minimizing the voltage deviations and line power loss.
Microgrids (MGs) with renewable energy resources have shown competitive operational advantages for smart grid integration. In the wake of recent blackout events, more interest has been directed on the deployment of MGs in rural and remote areas where main grid connectivity may not be possible. This work focuses on the development of an autonomous distributed
In remote areas, microgrids enable access to electricity where traditional grid extension is unavailable or impractical. Reduced carbon footprint: Microgrids may utilize multiple low- to zero-carbon energy sources. This system allows for a reduction of carbon emissions compared to using the local grid that relies on fossil fuels.
It shows that the microgrid produces large amount of hot water and reduces nearly 2554.02 kg carbon emissions produced by regional gas turbines through the year, which is more in line with carbon reduction goals. The constructed zero-carbon microgrid greatly promotes the comprehensive utilization of the power system in case area.

A feasibility analysis was conducted in [51] for a microgrid for a remote community in northern Ghana. Various sensitivity analyses were performed for solar irradiance, wind speed, and diesel prices. In [52], they designed and analyzed a microgrid for a remote community in Bangladesh. The microgrid comprises solar PV, WT, BES, and diesel
In this country, remote microgrids are prevalent in Alaska and the Arctic Circle." In 2018, the global market for remote microgrids totaled $3 billion. By 2027, it is expected to be $10.2 billion, says Navigant. In Africa and Latin America, most microgrids are remote, although some are serving a specific business such as mining.
The microgrid is connected to the main power system through the point of common coupling (PCC). However, the remote location of the microgrid—outside the expandable areas of the power network—makes the only line connection to the main grid prone to failures that cause supply interruptions, lasting from a few hours up to several days.
Remote microgrids have a number of benefits for both utilities and their customers, especially when it comes to serving those in remote and rural areas, according to Generac. "The utility can own the microgrid and use it

In remote areas, extending a power line to the primary electricity grid can be very expensive and power losses are high, making connections to the grid almost impossible. A well-designed microgrid that integrates renewable energy resources can help remote areas reduce investment costs and power losses while providing a reliable power source.
These hybrid microgrids will provide efficient, low-cost, and clean energy, and increase reliability and resiliency of the microgrid in isolated areas. In future work, the method will be developed to not only be applied on remote islands, but also in areas where electricity supply is already safely available.
Vietnam has been making efforts to develop microgrid models. However, current projects tend to focus on introducing technologies rather than operating models, and the benefits of microgrids are also being underestimated.
In future work, the method will be developed to not only be applied on remote islands, but also in areas where electricity supply is already safely available. Research can also be extended to develop a design model for a network of interconnected microgrids.
However, in many instances, microgrid systems have failed in delivering sustainable electricity supply. This has resulted in communities, primarily residing in remote or islanded areas of developing countries, having lower social and economic resiliency compared to the urban areas with centralized grid connectivity.
