Improved efficiency, enhanced reliability and reduced cost: The transition from static microgrids to reconfigurable microgrids

Thanks to smart switches, the current generation of static microgrids is about to transition to a new generation of reconfigrable microgrids (RMG). RMGs use remotely controlled switches to control and change the microgrid topology to ensure that desired objectives can be achieved. RMGs can provide customers with a greater degree of cost-effectiveness, efficiency, reliability, and power quality, though challenges remain.
