Abstract

Increased reliance on the power grid and concerns over climate change issues have resulted in the rapid adoption of renewable energy technologies. Consequently, it is necessary to consider how renewable energy resources are combined and controlled. The microgrid serves as the control center for distributed energy resources. This thesis paper introduces the microgrid elements and framework, its control strategies highlighting frequency and voltage control, and the prospects of artificial intelligence for control, considering two significant approaches. Key components of sub grids like the energy management system (EMS) and energy storage systems (ESSs) are discussed, and lastly, the microgrid's solutions in balancing the energy supply and demand for greener energy in retrospect. Microgrid systems prove the most efficient means for applying clean and renewable energy. A literature review on the optimum functionality of microgrid control is presented while considering various factors such as development and energy solutions. As a result of the increased interest and attention in this field of energy systems in the last few years, nations with developing economies have turned to implementing microgrids.
