Dr Tan started his talk with the development of renewable resources and the application prospect. He introduced the concept of microgrid, discussed the changes of microgrid definition and the composition of microgrid, and summarized the development and expertise of microgrid, microgrid management strategies and market implications. Dr Tan also rationally analyzed the obstacles to the development of the micro-grid and proposed the technical and market-related difficulties. After introducing the basic structure of the micro-grid, Dr Tan looked forward to the advanced control strategy of the microgrid. These forward-looking perspectives and technologies have deeply inspired the interest of participating teachers and students.
