Abstract

With the depletion of fossil fuels, the integration of renewable energy sources as distributed energy resources has become mandatory. However, the uncertainty and intermittent nature of these sources introduce significant challenges to their integration into microgrids. Effective control systems are essential for ensuring smooth integration, managing energy storage systems, and maintaining microgrid safety. In this study, a review of recent control methods applied in microgrid management was conducted with a focus on AI, optimization, and predictive techniques. These advanced and intelligent control methods were chosen for their potential to address current challenges. This study examined the benefits, limitations, and areas for future improvement. In addition, it explores the potential and the challenges of hybrid control techniques, which are less discussed in the literature, to further enhance control system efficiency and performance.

期刊介绍： The impact of computers has nowhere been more revolutionary than in electrical engineering. The design, analysis, and operation of electrical and electronic systems are now dominated by computers, a transformation that has been motivated by the natural ease of interface between computers and electrical systems, and the promise of spectacular improvements in speed and efficiency. Published since 1973, Computers & Electrical Engineering provides rapid publication of topical research into the integration of computer technology and computational techniques with electrical and electronic systems. The journal publishes papers featuring novel implementations of computers and computational techniques in areas like signal and image processing, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and communications. Special attention will be paid to papers describing innovative architectures, algorithms, and software tools.
