Microgrids are Low Voltage distribution networks comprising various distributed generators (DG), storage devices and controllable loads that can operate interconnected or isolated from the main distribution grid, as a controlled entity. This paper describes the main functions of the Microgrid Central Controller required for the optimization of Microgrid operation its interconnected operation. This is achieved by maximizing its value, i.e. optimizing production of the local DGs and power exchanges with the main distribution grid.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessconference output10.1109/fps.2005.204225Demand side biddingDistributed generationForecastingMarketsMicrogridsSecurityGeneral Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=33847232239&partnerID=8YFLogxK
