A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to
Overview of control methods In the field of microgrid control, the integration of artificial intelligence, optimization techniques, and predictive methods has become indispensable. These methods enable the microgrid system to adapt and optimize energy generation, consumption, and distribution as well as enhance its security and safety.
A simple method of integration of a microgrid controller into utility operations would be through abstraction. High-level use cases are presented to the operator (ex., voltage regulation, power factor control, island mode), but most actual control is handled by the remote controller and not the power system operator.
The keywords used were: “microgrid control,” “microgrid optimization,” “Predictive control microgrid,” “energy management,” “voltage and frequency control microgrid,” “power management,” “AI microgrid,” “microgrid MPC,” and “Model Predictive Control microgrid.” The databases used to find articles included Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
A microgrid is a system where distributed energy resources, energy storage systems, and loads are connected through their respective power converters. Microgrids can operate in two modes: standalone, where they function independently without a connection to the utility grid, and grid-connected, where they can exchange power with the main grid.
