Abstract
By increasing environmental effects of using fossil fuels to generate electric power, development and utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs) including wind turbine and photovoltaic systems are increasing every day, all around the world. To accommodate the traditional power systems with RESs, the concept of microgrid (MG) is provided, defined as a combination of controllable loads and distributed energy resources that can be utilized in grid-connected or islanded modes. In this chapter, first different types of MGs are detailed and then different energy management systems developed in the literature are provided. In addition, different objective functions, constraints, and communication systems utilized in the literature are presented.
