In this paper,a review is made on the microgrid modeling and operation modes. This complexity ranges from the inclusion of grid forming inverters, to integration with interdependent systems like thermal, natural gas. . In this mode, when there is any fault or maintenance in the main grid the microgrid is islanded either to prevent spreading of fault to the microgrid or to prevent accidents. When the intentional islanding is done, the control is given to maintain the voltage. The stability improvement methods are. .
