GARCIA-GARCIA, Jersson; REY-LOPEZ, Juan  and  OSMA-PINTO, German. Performance Evaluation of Microgrids: A Review. TecnoL. [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.58, e301.  Epub Mar 06, 2024. ISSN 0123-7799.  https://doi.org/10.22430/22565337.2656.

In recent years, the penetration of renewable generation has increased significantly, improving the reliability of electrical systems and mitigating the environmental impact. This penetration has boosted the use of microgrids, motivating the in-depth study of the performance analysis of these systems. However, the amount and diversity of existing information makes it difficult to identify and comprehensively understand the technical aspects and specific metrics to evaluate the performance of microgrids. This document presents a review of studies on performance analysis of a microgrid and facilities to identify what and how to carry out it. The review encompasses two steps. First, the identification of studies in databases such as IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and SpringerLink related to performance analysis of microgrids; and second, the definition of capabilities and classification of metrics in these. In total, eight capabilities were established: generation, resilience, maintenance, communication, reconfiguration, operation, control, and protection. In addition, the review allowed the identification of 87 indicators. This collection of information could facilitate the design of the evaluation plans for the performance of microgrids.

Keywords : Performance evaluation; technical assessment; key performance indicator; microgrids; operation level.
