TI  - A topological overview of microgrids: from maturity to the future
AB  - The concept of microgrid (MG) has attracted great attention from the system operators for increasing
operational effectiveness as well as providing more reliable, sustainable and economic power system. In this paper, a
comprehensive investigation is presented to shine new light on evaluating changes in MG operation from maturity to
the future. A great deal of literature studies consisting of the traditional MG architecture, encountered challenges and
proposed solutions for overcoming them are all examined in detail. Also, the impact of highly integrated renewable-based
energy sources into the power system is analysed by current studies. Moreover, modern MG architecture is extensively
investigated from the point of operational flexibility such as energy storage systems (ESSs), combined structure of
networked-MGs (NMGs) and demand-side management (DSM). Furthermore, incorporating MG architecture as a gridsupport service in power system resiliency enhancement strategies is investigated with current literature studies. As a
result of this detail investigation, it can be deduced that the power system has witnessed radically new changes and
outstanding developments in both generation and consumption side. Renewable power sources have been accepted as
the major mile stone in the harnessing electricity and there have a strong trend towards penetrating these types of
generation units in MG structure. On the other hand, increased concerns about safety problems and challenges in MG
have triggered a huge amount of discussions in the literature.
