Trends in Energy Management System for Smart Microgrid—An Overview

Smart Grid (SG) is an integrated grid to improve efficiency, consistency, and security with the incorporation of conventional and renewable energy sources, through automated control and modern communication technology. The development of Microgrid (MG) is a great solution for the incorporation of sustainable energy resources inside the smart grid environment. The emergence of Microgrid (MG) by decomposition of the grid is a combination of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), Energy Storage System (ESS), loads and Control devices. This makes MG a single and controllable power supply system that can enhance versatility, dependability and furthermore incorporate the benefits of distributed generation. In MG, an EMS is fundamental for the ideal utilization of distributed energy sources in smart, secure, reliable and synchronized ways. The need for understanding the energy utilized is increasing since effective Energy Management is more challenging in Microgrid (MG). This paper reviews several Energy management systems developed based on different strategic approaches available for Microgrid on Demand-Side Management.
