The growing electricity consumption of communities has raised concerns about the environmental impact of traditional energy sources. To mitigate these concerns, governments are promoting to utilize renewable energy sources. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy poses significant challenges for gird stability. Micro-grids have emerged as promising solutions to address these challenges. A micro-grid is an independent electric system that can generate, distribute, and manage electricity within a small area. It offers many advantages such as; peak load reduction, minimized load variability, and enhanced power quality. Energy management systems (EMS) within micro-grids play a significant role in overcoming operational challenges. They are designed to control micro-grid systems with the goal of flattening, smoothing, and reducing the curve of electrical demand. This helps to reduce the …
