Abstract :
The paper summarises the conclusions of a study into single-phase, small-scale semi-autonomous networks, such as might be formed by a single-household (a domestic MicroGrid). Suitable technologies are discussed and sample results from a hardware model are presented. A novel solution for low-cost integration of such a system into a well-behaved aggregate system is described.
