[111] | Machine-learning-based fast-tripping protection scheme is implemented by using traveling waves for fault location and action in microgrids. Fault location algorithm trains the Gaussian process through Parseval curves of the conductor that is formulated for microgrids. The hypothesis of this work and simulations are supported by Sandia National Laboratories, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. | Machine learning required an intensive data set. For a sensitive protection system, the data which is used here to train the machine learning algorithm is not sufficient and its formulated indirectly which can malfunction the protection scheme. |
[112,113] | Rule-based adaptive protection scheme combined with ANN-SVM diagnosis model was used to locate the fault and change the network topology to update the protection settings. For protection setting calculation to build a data set, Ohm-based protection is chosen. | The proposed scheme needs information on network parameters to train the ANN model. Dynamic changes from DERs in the network are not considered which can alter the protection settings on which the model is trained. |
[114,115] | Dynamic models for power grid and protection systems that can simulate different cascading failure mechanisms compared to existing quasi-steady state (QSS) models are presented. | Multiple distributed generation resources could be included for a better protection mechanism. |
[116] | Inductance-based protection through local measurements from the topology of the microgrid. | Weak system in terms of communication. |
[117] | ANN-based microgrid protection through identification and detection of fault location. | Protection operating time can be inaccurate. |
[118] | Sensor-based protection through measured data for fault detection | Intermittent nature of RESs is ignored. |
[119] | Deep belief network through machine learning approach for asymmetrical fault detection. | Load-based faults are difficult to train in this method. |
[109] | AI-based protection through artificial neural network prediction method. | The dynamic nature of RESs makes it difficult to directly predict the event. |
[120] | Machine-learning-based protection through local measurements. | Microgrid stability is ignored. |
[121] | A traveling wave (TW)-based protection scheme to localize the fault. | Communication malfunction is ignored. |
[122] | A multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network is used for error determination. This algorithm is based on dividing the existing distribution network into multiple zones, each of which can operate in an isolated mode. | Complex systems required highspeed computing resources |
[107] | An adaptive central protection method is presented in a way to handle the changing settings of protection in the presence of DG units, disconnecting associated DG units in the event of a fault. Balancing different DG automation, using residual current limiters, intelligent transformers, and adaptive protection. | It is a centralized protection scheme. Any problem in the central zone can collapse the entire system. |
[107,108,109,110,120,121] | AGC systems combining BES/SMES, wind turbines, FACTS devices, and PV with AGC techniques based on digital, self-tuning control, adaptive, VSS systems, and intelligent/soft computing control are recommended. | Complex and high-computing-requirement-based systems have too many components to control in protection control. |
[107,121] | A multiagent system-based adaptive protection and control algorithm is created for the DG controller and relays to reduce the impact of fault current. | A type of centralized protection mechanism can collapse the entire system if control is malfunctioning. |

6. Discussion and Future Work
- A modern microgrid is characterized by the integration of distributed energy resources, a battery storage system, and controllable loads in a power distribution network. To accommodate these challenges, it is necessary to redesign a conventional energy management scheme through AI so that it can cope with the resiliency and reliability needs of microgrids effectively.
- Performance deterioration in multisource contemporary microgrid operations raises issues despite lowering costs and computing time. To solve these issues and improve the operation of the microgrid, research in state-of-the-art power electronics converter design and intelligent energy management systems are needed.
- Predictions made by AI are based on previous data and show a remarkable ability to evaluate large datasets and extract insightful information without being bound by pre-existing models. This feature gives AI a significant edge, making it an appealing option for the future.
- Distributed generation in an islanding mode of operation using inverter-based control approaches and AC microgrid control using inverter-interfaced generation are required to address the challenges in the power systems.
- The stability considerations of the dynamic nature of bulk EV load have not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, dynamic studies are crucial for analyzing various aspects of new research activities.
- Research in protection devices and AI-based advanced protection algorithms along with cyber protection of the cyber-physical power system will improve power networks’ protection.
- Adopting the islanding detection feature with control strategies like load shedding and islanding control will improve the overall efficiency and dependability of the power system, it can also be used to examine the potential security vulnerabilities and attacks in terms of cyber-security.
- DGRs such as pump storage and hydra power have attracted minimal attention. These kinds of generations should be taken into consideration due to their benefits to the environment, cost, and efficiency.

Instability | Microgrid Instability | Conventional/Bulk Power Systems Instability |
---|---|---|
Rotor angle | The use of well-tuned regulators and governors synchronizing torque and damping problems do not occur in microgrids [41]. Low inertia due to high penetration of RESs, poor tuning of synchronous machines, exciters, and governors [42,43]. | Increase in rotor angle instability in power systems due to lack of synchronizing torque in local plant/inter-area mode [41,44]. Short circuits in transmission lines cause rotor angle excursions [41]. Increase in rotor oscillations due to sufficient damping torque in local plant/inter-area mode [45]. |
Voltage | Voltage drops due to current distribution networks in microgrids [41]. Voltage instability due to limits in DGRs (change in terminals, reactive power injections,) and sensitivity of load power consumption [46]. Voltage drops due to penetration of induction machines (motor stalls causing voltage stability) [41,46]. Voltage ripples are caused by capacitors in VSIs used in the interface of generation units [41]. Slow dynamic response with the sluggish tuning of parameters by secondary controllers causes voltage stability. Poor active power sharing and active power supply are other reasons [47]. | Loss of synchronism in the machine causes a rapid drop in voltage [48]. Increase in reactive power consumption in high voltage networks [42,48]. Increase in system disturbances, e.g., limitations in the capability of transmission network for power transfer, self-excitations of synchronous machines, circuit contingencies, and system load increase [48]. Classical methods of controller bear poor efficiency because of higher data analysis and computational burden. A drop in bus voltages is due to the capacitive behavior of the network [47,48]. |
Frequency | Poor active power sharing and active power supply [41]. Limits in DGRs (RES penetration, change in microgrid configurations) [49]. Tuning of VSIs and VSIs inner current and voltage control loops in inverter-interfaced microgrids cause frequency deviations [41]. Strong coupling between voltage and frequency in microgrids causes frequency deviations (R/X ratios, voltage sensitivity due to load increase) [49]. | Poor coordination of protection equipment and controllers causes frequency deviations [48]. Unregenerated islanding causes frequency decay due to insufficient under-frequency load shedding [42]. Generation unit (turbine overspeed control) control causes frequency deviations [49,50]. |

Cost optimization through stochastic modeling using nature-inspired algorithms such as ant colony optimization [99]. | Wind, natural gas turbines | Only wind forecasting model is designed and set as a base factor for EMS, modern microgrid systems should opt for distributed control with solar and BESS through neural network or machine learning algorithms. |
Cost and emission optimization through metaheuristic honey badger algorithm. For fitness function summation of fuel cost, startup cost, and shut down cost is used along with load balance as problem constraint [100]. | PV, wind, battery, fuel cell | It is a complete software-based idea with multiple operating scenarios which is extremely hard to realize in an actual system. Central controller-based EMS should opt for such multisource microgrid because it contains almost all the energy sources which are hard to handle separately in real time so a central controller-based EMS strategy should opt for a real feasible solution. |
A cloud-based P2P scheme is used for commercial microgrid energy management. Bill estimation through leveraging agents is used to formulate the main function of decentralized EMS. DERs energy sharing is used for bill estimation for consumers and boosts microgrid revenue through numerical analysis [101]. | PV and wind | The proposed method used multiple techniques to handle multiple problems in a single microgrid which is a burden to central computing unit. By doing so the trade between microgrid revenue and microgrid efficient operation will be violated. Distributed control with real-time forecasting models can solve this problem without burdening the computing unit. |
PSO-based cost optimization is achieved through a virtual energy storage system idea to accomplish source load energy optimization. Objective function of EMS is based on the difference between input and operational cost for virtual energy storage units [102]. | Wind | Only wind is used to claim the proposed work related to virtual energy storage unit. However, any system with PV or BESS does not need a virtual energy storage unit for cost optimization. Moreover, PSO and other metaheuristic algorithms do guarantee the optimal solution. For systems having only wind source, a simple central controller-based forecasting model works effectively for cost optimization |
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) for EMS [68,69,70,80]. | PV, wind, battery load | PSO is unable to ensure an optimal solution but mixed-integer linear and nonlinear programming can be used for similar outcomes. |
Power management is conducted through distributed control [86,97]. | PV, wind, battery, load | For multiple RES-based systems, the optimization problem can be conducted through linear/nonlinear programming or AI-based methods. In such cases, the technique can be selected based on accuracy or fast response requirements. |
