DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A microgrid is defined as a group of Distributed Ener
 gy Resources (DERs) and loads that act locally as a single controllable en
 tity and can operate in both grid-connected and islanded modes. Microgrids
  are considered a critical link in the evolution from vertically integrate
 d bulk power systems to smart decentralized networks\, by facilitating the
  integration of DERs. Entities\, such as government agencies\, utilities\,
  military bases\, and universities around the world are deploying microgri
 ds\, and an increasing number of these systems are expected to be develope
 d in the next decade. In general\, stability in microgrids has been treate
 d from the perspective of conventional bulk power systems. However\, the n
 ature of the stability problem and dynamic performance of a microgrid are 
 considerably different than those of a conventional power system due to in
 trinsic differences between microgrids and bulk power systems\, such as si
 ze\, feeder types\, high share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES)\, convert
 er-interfaced components\, low inertia\, measurement devices such as Phase
 -Locked Loop (PLL)\, unbalanced operation\, etc.\n\nThis seminar discusses
  the findings of the award-winning IEEE PES Task Force on Microgrid Stabil
 ity Definitions\, Analysis\, and Modeling\, which defines concepts and ide
 ntifies relevant issues related to stability in microgrids. The seminar pr
 esents definitions and classification of microgrid stability\, considering
  pertinent microgrid features such as voltage-frequency dependence\, unbal
 ancing\, low inertia\, and generation intermittency. A few examples will b
 e also presented\, highlighting some of the stability classes discussed du

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abstract:&lt;/strong&gt; A microgrid is 
 defined as a group of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and loads that a
 ct locally as a single controllable entity and can operate in both grid-co
 nnected and islanded modes. Microgrids are considered a critical link in t
 he evolution from vertically integrated bulk power systems to smart decent
 ralized networks\, by facilitating the integration of DERs. Entities\, suc
 h as government agencies\, utilities\, military bases\, and universities a
 round the world are deploying microgrids\, and an increasing number of the
 se systems are expected to be developed in the next decade. In general\, s
 tability in microgrids has been treated from the perspective of convention
 al bulk power systems. However\, the nature of the stability problem and d
 ynamic performance of a microgrid are considerably different than those of
  a conventional power system due to intrinsic differences between microgri
 ds and bulk power systems\, such as size\, feeder types\, high share of Re
 newable Energy Sources (RES)\, converter-interfaced components\, low inert
 ia\, measurement devices such as Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)\, unbalanced oper
 ation\, etc.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;This seminar discusses the findings of the award-winn
 ing IEEE PES Task Force on Microgrid Stability Definitions\, Analysis\, an
 d Modeling\, which defines concepts and identifies relevant issues related
  to stability in microgrids. The seminar presents definitions and classifi
 cation of microgrid stability\, considering pertinent microgrid features s
 uch as voltage-frequency dependence\, unbalancing\, low inertia\, and gene
 ration intermittency. A few examples will be also presented\, highlighting
  some of the stability classes discussed during the seminar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
