Abstract:- Recent advancements in the micro grid are combined with the area’s main electrical grid. Microgrid
aiding the power system in case of reliability and cost integrates various renewable resources. The objective of a

various renewable resources, the system to be analysed provide reliable power flow. The microgrid and the utility grid
consists of biogas as a renewable resource. In this project is interconnected via Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The
