In this paper, different models of electric components in a microgrid are presented. These models use complex system modeling techniques such as agent-based methods and system dynamics, or a combination of different methods to represent various electric elements. . ems that can function independently or alongside the main grid. They consist of interconnected ge erators, energy storage, and loads that can be managed locally. Using SystemC-AMS, we demonstrate how microgrid components, including solar panels and converters, can be ccurately modeled and. . This work presents a library of microgrid (MG) component models integrated in a complete university campus MG model in the Simulink/MATLAB environment. Electricity generation in the traditional power grid is very centralized, where energy is delivered uni hnologies for more sustainable, reliable, and efficient energy systems. Micro-Grid (MG) is basically a low voltage (LV) or medium voltage (MV) distribution network which consists of a number of called distributed generators (DG's); micro-sources such as photovoltaic array, fuel cell, wind turbine etc.
