The future development direction of microgrids in China will therefore be towards an energy system that integrates electricity, gas, water, and heat resources, achieves mutual coupling, and solves the problems of efficient energy utilization and peak regulation .
The key technologies for the development of China's microgrids that require further special attention are control technology, intelligent protection technology, power electronics technology, renewable energy technology and energy storage technology. (1) Control technology
Microgrids can accept a high proportion of renewable energy and support users' flexible energy use and flexible transactions around energy sales and purchases. Figure 5 shows the market scale forecast for deployment of China's energy Internet in the future.
With the continuous advancement and deepening of reform of the power system, however, China's policies regulating the construction of microgrids have been continuously improving, which has strongly promoted the construction and development of microgrids. 2.4 Existing Mini- and Microgrid Projects in China
