Microgrid systems encounter various challenges, including critical issues such as load scheduling and the generation of large amounts of data that need to be monitored to stabilize the system during operation. It is essential to ensure the real-time collection and protection of data throughout the process. In this context, infrastructure such as cloud computing and data security plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges. Data generated from a microgrid includes different attributes such as meteorological information, energy production data, and distributed energy resources data, which help monitor the balance between supply and demand. This data also plays a crucial role in energy forecasting, predictive maintenance, and analyzing the critical performance of grid-connected or standalone microgrid systems. The paper discusses the significance of the data collected from distributed energy resources and provides a critical analysis of current solutions and future perspectives on data sharing in microgrids and their challenges.
The contribution of renewable energy system in terms of climate change plays a vital roles and the energy scarcity in rural areas are the major concern nowadays. Countries where the grid are not stable and has severe load shedding are the common place to integrate the environmental friendly energy system. Microgird is one of the solution to mitgate such problems either for standalone or grid connected systems. In this research the overview of Microgrid systems are discussed. The propblems and challanges are investigated. The control mechanism of them are discussed and how energy management systems can reduce the associates problems related to microgrids are proposes and critically analysed. In this work, a dispatch strategy has been demonstrated to ensure that the system can reduce the use of diesel generators and increase the utilization of renewable energy sources. The strategy also decreases the excess electricity produced by the system while ensuring its technical feasibility. The system was simulated with and without storage; the results indicate that the version without a battery is more economically and technically feasible while still meeting the necessary constraints.
