Two ways to ensure continuous electricity regardless of the weather or an unforeseen event are by using distributed energy resources (DER) and microgrids.

Microgrids are localised network of energy loads and distributed energy resources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage systems, that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid.
In this paper, we study the modeling, the control, and the power management strategy of a grid-connected hybrid alternating/direct current (AC/DC) microgrid based on a wind turbine generation system using a doubly fed induction generator, a photovoltaic.
DG often includes electricity from renewable energy systems such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and small wind turbines, as well as battery energy storage systems that enable delayed electricity use.
In recent years, global energy transition has pushed distributed generation (DG) to the forefront in relation to new energy development. Most existing studies focus on DG or energy storage planning but lack co-optimization and power tracking analysis.
Because they can operate while the main grid is down, microgrids can strengthen grid resilience, help mitigate grid disturbances, and function as a grid resource for faster system response and recovery. Solar DER can be built at different scales-even one small solar panel can.
