The microgrid concept is introduced to have a self-sustained system consisting of distributed energy resources that can operate in an islanded mode during grid failures. In microgrid, an energy management system is essential for optimal use of these distributed energy resources in intelligent, secure, reliable, and coordinated ways.

Microgrids (MG) have been widely accepted as a viable solution to improve grid reliability and resiliency, ensuring continuous power supply to loads. However, to ensure the effective operation of the Distributed Energy Resources (DER), Microgrids must have Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS).
Renewable energy resources are currently being deployed on a large scale to meet the requirements of increased energy demand, mitigate the environmental pollutants, and achieve socio-economic benefits for sustainable development. The integration of such distributed energy sources into utility grid paves the way for microgrids.
However, to ensure the effective operation of the Distributed Energy Resources (DER), Microgrids must have Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS). Therefore, considerable research has been conducted to achieve smooth profiles in grid parameters during operation at optimum running cost.

Additionally, a model is developed to simulate the performance of the microgrid under different scenarios, incorporating factors such as time-dependent load profiles, renewable energy generation, battery storage, and grid pricing structures.
