**2. Power System Network**

The power system network is comprised of generation, transmission, and distribution. In generation, all the power generation plants, like thermal, hydro, nuclear etc., are connected in parallel. The generated power is stepped up and transmitted to reduce transmission loss. Finally, in the distribution stage, the power is supplied to different types of consumers with respect to their requirements. Figure 1 shows the schematic structure of the power system network. There are two thermal units, two hydro, and two nuclear power generation units that are connected in parallel, which will be connected to the transmission network. In the second stage of the transmission network, the co-generation plants like sugar plants and cement plants are connected to the distribution bus, and finally, in the distribution network, the voltage is stepped down, and it will supply power to different consumers like industrial, commercial, and domestic consumers. The power fluctuation severely affects consumers in the distribution stage, which is limited to some extent through the use of the microgrid, which is supplied through renewable energy sources like wind, PV, fuel cells, and diesel power. The main advantage of the microgrid is that it is able to instantaneously meet any increase in load that cannot be reciprocated by thermal, hydro, and nuclear generating units. The liability of the system will improve, and the microgrid is a better solution for supplying power to a remote village community.
