I am not an expert in microgrid or weak or strong grid topology but I know people
who are. Consider this analogy. Imagine how vehicle springs and shocks are tuned to
match the weight of the vehicle and road conditions. Too stiff or weak can have
resonance issues each which must be factored in protecting the weakest link( the
tires or the shock end-stop, the other moving parts or the passengers) to handle all
the expected traffic conditions, disturbances ( pot holes from winter, massive pot
holes from fracking oil nearby ( sub-terrain voids) , ice, temperature, rain etc.

weak grid means that the voltage at the connecting point will be very sensitive to any
variation of the load. Strong grid means that the voltage will be not affected and will
stay unchanged. It is why it is called stiff.

Is defined the strength of the grid: capability to maintain the voltage constant
whatever the loas is.

The strength is directly linked to the impedance of the lines. if impedance is high the
strength is weak. If impedance is low the strength is strong.

Impedance of the line is inversely proportional to the short circuit current capability
at the connecting point. If short circuit current is high strength is high. If short
circuit current is low strength is weak.

Hoping that it helped.

The difference is the available short-circuit current. If the available short-circuit

current is low, any large load applied to the grid will result in a significant drop in
line voltage. If the SCCA is high, the voltage will be much less affected - "stiffer," in
