Abstract
In this paper, an algorithm is presented, suitable for simulating the dynamic behavior of LV Microgrids both under grid connected and autonomous operation. The algorithm follows the stability approach, focusing on low-frequency dynamics, and adjusts the standard methodology so that the dynamic analysis of the system can be carried out, even in the absence of a synchronous machine when all the sources are interfaced to the network with inverters. Proper network representation allows for the modeling of all the characteristic unbalances of the LV network. The capability of the algorithm to simulate the operating modes of a Microgrid is demonstrated by representative study cases
