A Review of Microgrid Energy Management and Control Strategies

Several issues have been reported with the expansion of the electric power grid and the increasing use of intermittent power sources, such as the need for expensive transmission lines and the issue of cascading blackouts, which can adversely affect critical infrastructures. Microgrids (MG) has been widely accepted as a viable solution to improve grid reliability and resiliency, ensuring continuous power supply to loads. However, to ensure the effective operation of the Distributed Energy Resources (DER), Microgrids need to have Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS). Therefore, considerable research has been conducted to achieve smooth profiles in grid parameters during operation at optimum running cost.…
