Abstract:
Microgrids play a crucial role in modern energy infrastructure by enhancing power reliability, integrating renewable energy sources, and reducing dependency on centralized grids. As energy demand continues to rise, microgrids offer a resilient and sustainable solution for both urban and rural areas. However, their effective operation depends on advanced control strategies that ensure stability, efficiency, and seamless integration with existing power systems. This paper explores various control strategies for microgrids, including decentralized, hierarchical, and artificial intelligence-based approaches, comparing their effectiveness in different operational environments. The study examines the distinct challenges faced by urban and rural microgrids, such as load variability, resource availability, economic constraints, and grid interconnection issues. Furthermore, it analyzes the benefits of adaptive control mechanisms in optimizing energy distribution, managing demand-side response, and improving fault tolerance. To provide a comprehensive evaluation, this study incorporates figures, tables, and bar charts illustrating key differences in control methodologies, performance metrics, and real-world applications. The findings contribute to the development of more efficient and scalable microgrid solutions, ultimately supporting the transition toward a smarter and more resilient energy infrastructure.
