The past decade has seen a significant rise in the proliferation of roof-top photovoltaic (PV) systems with storage units at residential sites. This has affected how power engineers and researchers have previously studied distribution systems as passive networks. With the introduction of these local distributed energy resources, a distribution system has become part of an active network. This modernization of the power distribution network brings along with itself a number of key issues that need to be proactively tackled by the local utilities. In North America, the concept of central generation has transformed into local distributed generation (DG) due to the rise of family-owned rooftop PV systems, storage devices, and electric vehicles. With this phenomenon reshaping the current perspective of distribution networks, the local generation and storage capacities, with their respective controllers, allow for these DG units to be grouped together to form single-phase microgrids most commonly referred to as residential microgrids. This presentation looks into  residential microgrids, which accommodate multiple embedded generation and energy storage units while balancing generation and loading in each phase to achieve overall three-phase system balance.
