Özet:
Energy is one of the essential foundations for the sustainable development of human society, so its management is necessary. Energy management system (EMS) can be explained as the procedure of optimizing, planning, controlling, monitoring, and saving energy to maximize operations and efficiency and minimize consumption. Microgrid (MG) requires EMS as an efficient and optimal tool owing to the stochastic nature of electrical loads and renewable sources. Moreover, energy management system is responsible for operation of a MG in reliable, secure and economical manner in either states of grid-connected or disconnected. Many literatures have recently focused on the expansion of advanced strategies of the MG energy management for establishing a self-sustained MG in both industrial and academic research. Thus, a comparative research is needed for having a 360° viewpoint of the energy management domain in MGs. In this regard, this research investigates a comparative and critical analysis of the developed strategies of the energy management for the MGs from different views and aspects from 2009 to 2022. The review strategy systematically adopted by the author includes: (i) Extracting research papers relevant to energy management in MGs; (ii) Filtering the significant papers to prepare a database of related research papers (iii) Classifying the used methods for EMS based on the technique, control strategies, and structure; (iv) Discussing potential directions for future studies. In a wider outlook, this research provides a systematic and updated review of energy management strategies for MGs developed by different researchers. The author hopes that academicians and practitioners can use the suggested framework as well as the offers presented for further studies on this significant yet sophisticated issue.
