Abstract
Global energy is in a disruptive shift into the demanded sustainable, efficient, and decentralized energy approach. Microgrids have emerged as key innovations as they can accommodate renewable energy sources, advanced storage solutions, and intelligent controls. This review provides insight into the critical role that Energy Management Systems (EMS) play in optimizing microgrid operation, providing stability, and improving energy use. This includes the added features of infusing new Technologies like Machine Learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoTs), which have changed the outlook for Energy Management Systems through predictive analytics, real-time optimization, and greater reliability. Key challenges of microgrid deployment are addressed - renewable energy variability, cybersecurity concerns-in addition to future trends like digital twins and blockchain applications. This thorough analysis will further reinforce that microgrids represent a point crucial in the solutions offered to the demands of the world in energy for resilient and sustainable power systems.
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.
