A comprehensive review of microgrid challenges in
However, the control, protection, high stability, and reliability of the grids are significant problems [1, 2, 3, 4]. Successful real-time commercialization and deployment have not yet taken place.
There has yet to be an effective real-time implementation and commercialization of micro-grids. This review article summarizes various concerns associated with microgrids' technical and economic aspects and challenges, power flow controllers, microgrids' role in smart grid development, main flaws, and future perspectives.
As microgrids become increasingly integral to the global energy landscape, addressing challenges such as system stability, integration with renewable energy sources, communication complexities, and regulatory barriers is paramount.
Central power system failures have persisted as a result of the microgrids' instability. Microgrid technology integration at the load level has been the main focus of recent research in the field of microgrids. The conventional power grids are now obsolete since it is difficult to protect and operate numerous interconnected distributed generators.
Looking ahead, the future of microgrid development holds significant promise, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and smart grid technologies.
However, the control, protection, high stability, and reliability of the grids are significant problems [1, 2, 3, 4]. Successful real-time commercialization and deployment have not yet taken place.
