The concept of microgrids (MGs) as compact power systems, incorporating distributed energy resources, generating units, storage systems, and loads, is widely acknowledged in the research community. Globally, nations are adopting MGs to access clean, affordable, and reliable energy solutions.
In this section, microgrid operation, including integrated control of these systems, is examined through two approaches. Condition-based operation relies on predefined rules invoked hourly to determine optimal solutions. Optimization establishes the day's operational plan in advance, exploring scenarios for the most cost-effective solution.
One infrastructure that embodies this approach is the “microgrid” concept. A microgrid is a power system defined by specific electrical boundaries, equipped with a resource management control system, and possessing generation capacity surpassing critical load .
