“…The smart grid refers to a novel electrical network that acts intelligently to accommodate clean energy, electric power management, grid modernization and consumer participation in an energy-efficient manner [15]- [18]. The intelligent electrical grid also assists the improvement of power operation that minimises power disruptions, which can guarantee a proper network control scheme [19], [20] and a good protection philosophy [18], [21]. Through a communication network, the combination of these four goals of a smart grid, namely RERs, electrical power management or energy management, grid modernization and consumer participation [15] reduce the harmful greenhouse gas emissions of the electrical power industry [15]- [17].…”

This paper describes an overview of the optimal energy coordination/management approaches for microgrids. The article presents the smart grid environment in conjunction with their technologies into the applications of a microgrid when the energy coordination aims to create power flow stability between the generation and consumption of the electricity. This energy equilibrium is made regardless of a power grid complexity that can contain diverse load demands and distributed energy resources (DERs), including renewable energy system (RES), energy storage system (ESS), electric vehicle (EV), etc. A microgrid often contains an energy mix system that requires three control levels, namely primary, secondary and tertiary, to optimize the energy cost and behavior of the system operation and exploitation. Based on several DERs, a microgrid can operate in island mode or be connected to the main grid. The energy coordination for both features is to deal with the energy resources uncertainty, the climate impact, to reduce atmospheric pollution deriving from the conventional power grid, and the energy demand growth. Through the smart grid technology, the optimization approaches of this coordination have brought several improvements into the electrical system. Thus, an overview of an intelligent energy management system for microgrid applications is intensively detailed to structure the implementation strategies which aim to coordinate the energy flow of an electrical system optimally.

“…The growing share of weather dependant resources in an electrical power network added complexity in the power grid management [2, 9]. Operational tools of the electrical network are unable to its actual standard level to handle its full extent uncertainties [10, 11]. When considering changes in parameters and uncertainty of the power system, more tools are needed for its optimisation, operation and control [4, 12].…”
