Abstract

Effective integration, optimization and management of energy sources, prompts careful selection of the intelligent systems to control and monitor the interaction and development of microgrids deployed for critical loads and for Cities. Due to the increasing energy demands and the stochastic nature of microsources, the need for reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective energy flow becomes mandatory both in the business case and technical. To ensure the integration of distributed generations with responsive energy balance; higher power quality, protection, reliability, increased resiliency, sustainability, scalability and availability, there is need for correct real-time operations and coordination through the use of intelligent control interfaces, gateways, networks, data information techniques, and wireless communications devices, protocols and platforms. This paper, therefore, reviews the rubrics of microgrid systems of intelligent for effective energy integration and balance of flow from generation to distribution of grids. This article as a recommendation for proper energy integration further proposes Control techniques and strategy that will assure responsive energy supply and demand through a microgrid System.
