Microgrids usually employ distributed energy resources such as wind turbines, solar photovoltaic modules, etc. When multiple distributed generation resources with different features are used in microgrids, managing these resources becomes an important problem. The generated power of solar photovoltaic modules and wind turbines used in microgrids is
A microgrid comprises of a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources with clearly defined electrical boundaries. It acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid and can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island modes – IEEE 2030.7
Microgrid (MG) is a small-scale grid that consists of multiple distributed energy resources and load demand. The microgrid energy management system (M-EMS) is the decision-making centre of the MG. An M-EMS is composed of four modules which are known as forecasting, scheduling, data acquisition, and human-machine interface. However, the

This paper has presented a comprehensive and critical review on the developed microgrid energy management strategies and solution approaches. The main objectives of the energy management system are to optimize the operation, energy scheduling, and system reliability in both islanded and grid-connected microgrids for sustainable development.
The microgrid concept is introduced to have a self-sustained system consisting of distributed energy resources that can operate in an islanded mode during grid failures. In microgrid, an energy management system is essential for optimal use of these distributed energy resources in intelligent, secure, reliable, and coordinated ways.
There are many strategies for energy management systems for smart microgrids such as load management, generation management, and energy storage management 4. The control system of a microgrid must continuously analyze and prioritize loads to maintain a balance between power generation and consumption.
