Korea's microgrid has been expanding since 2009 to meet needs such as output stabilization, peak reduction, and demand response for renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power, and others. The number of MG and ESS installations nationwide has grown to 1,267 sites with 4.3 GWh of total storage.
In 2015, the KEPCO Human Resources Development Center installed microgrids for nine buildings and is operating those microgrids in connection with the central power grid.
Located in the southern part of the Korean peninsula (see Figure 8), the Gasado microgrid in Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, has an area of 6.4 km2 and serves a population of 301 customers in 164 households and business/institutional consumers (Table 6). The existing power facility installed and operated three 100 kW diesel generators starting in 1992.
Across the country, 1,267 microgrids and energy storage systems (ESS) are in operation with a total storage capacity of 4.3 GWh. Also, various new microgrid companies are entering the South Korean
