Abstract: In the smart grid environment, the flexible and diverse distributed generation (DG) and microgrid (MG) are attracting considerable attention. There are many key management and optimization issues involved in smart grid. As an important part of smart grid optimizations, the optimal load distribution of MG contributes to the efficient operation of MG in the smart grid environment. However, traditional optimal load distribution models of large-scale power generation systems are not fully applicable to MG for their distinct characteristics. In this paper, we first introduce the MG in smart grid and analyze its characteristics. Then, we present a review of the optimal load distribution models of MG in the smart grid environment, and point out the deficiencies of the existing models. Finally, a comprehensive optimal load distribution model of MG both in objective functions and constraints is established and discussed.
