A Comprehensive Review of Optimizing Microgrid Design and Operation: Challenges, Issues, and Techniques

Author Name : Sagar S. Chaugule, Dr. P. V. Paratwar

ABSTRACT The increasing levels of carbon emissions and greenhouse gases have heightened the demand for renewable energy sources (RESs). This shift is driven by the rapid depletion of natural resources, necessitating the integration of renewable energy into power systems. Microgrids, with their decentralized control configurations, represent a transformative approach to energy distribution, moving away from traditional centralized systems. These systems, installed on the demand side of distributed generation, are poised to reshape electricity markets at both the generation and distribution levels in the coming years. Microgrids also facilitate diversified investments across sectors such as generation operations. This review explores the fundamental concepts of microgrids, including their definitions, classifications, associated challenges, and optimization techniques aimed at enhancing grid stability and security.
