Abstract

The microgrid is self-contained and may operate independently or with the primary grid. A group of nano grids also constructs the microgrid structure, which is governed by centralized control algorithms. Microgrids’ principal purpose is to shorten the length of power transmission. These microgrids are constructed with various integrated or independent energy sources, including renewable energy (RES). Maintaining a dependable and efficient power supply to end-users is crucial, as most RES is subject to natural variability.

The connection between power electronics and energy storage, robust and intelligent control, and an online monitoring system are crucial for achieving a highly efficient and reliable microgrid. Another aspect is how modern Artificial Intelligence algorithms are utilized in power electronics systems to make real-time autonomous decisions. Integration of several RES, which impacts the reliability of the electric power supply, is an additional issue. This research topic seeks to develop a microgrid system that is both highly efficient and robust.
