To investigate the MG operation, the MG modelling was established to cope with this problem. These model tested five cases of transition modes between grid and MG based on IEEE Standard 1547.4 and TNB Guidelines were simulated using Matlab/Simulink.

Constraints including EVs' charging time, the range of the charging/discharging power and SOC (state of charge) of the storage batteries, power supply rate of the distribution network and system power balance are considered in this model.
