This paper presents a detailed review of planning and operation of Microgrid, which includes the concept of MGs, utilization of distributed energy resources, uses of energy storage systems, integration of power electronics to microgrid, protection, communication, control strategies and stability of microgrids.
The energy planning of a microgrid generally involves these steps: (i) the selection of energy sources, (ii) the sizing of these sources, and (iii) the definition of the energy management strategy. The level of detail in each phase might vary depending on the design objective .
Research in this area could provide opportunities for microgrid planning and energy management optimization. Also, upcoming works could address multi-objective optimization, including cost minimization, CO 2 emission reduction, and autonomy. Advanced multi-objective energy management techniques could significantly improve energy planning.
The following are outstanding examples of the practical implementation of optimal microgrid planning, which also present challenges inherent to their specific environments.
