Abstract


The main objective of this paper is to review the energy management of a community microgrid using adaptable renewable energy sources. Community microgrids have grown up as a viable strategy to successfully integrate renewable energy sources (RES) into local energy distribution networks in response to the growing worldwide need for sustainable and dependable energy solutions. This study presents an in-depth examination of the energy management tactics employed in community microgrids using adaptive RES, covering power generation, storage, and consumption. Energy communities are an innovative yet successful prosumer idea for the development of local energy systems. It is based on decentralized energy sources and the flexibility of electrical users in the community. Local energy communities serve as testing grounds for innovative energy practices such as cooperative microgrids, energy independence, and a variety of other exciting experiments as they seek the most efficient ways to interact both internally and with the external energy system. We discuss several energy management tactics utilized in community microgrids with flexible RES, Which include various renewable energy sources (wind, solar power, mechanical vibration energy) and storage devices. Various energy harvesting techniques have also been discussed in this paper. It also includes information on various power producing technology. Given the social, environmental, and economic benefits of a particular site for such a community, this paper proposes an integrated technique for constructing and efficiently managing community microgrids with an internal market. The report also discusses the obstacles that community microgrids confront and proposed methods for overcoming them. This paper analyzes future developments in community microgrids with adaptive RES. The study discusses potential developments in community microgrids with flexible energy trading systems.
