Microgrids, as localized energy distribution systems with the capability to operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid, have garnered significant attention due to their potential to enhance energy management efficiency and resilience. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration into the dynamic modeling and analysis of microgrids, aiming to elucidate strategies for optimizing energy management in such systems. Beginning with an overview of microgrid fundamentals and the challenges of integrating diverse energy resources, this paper delves into dynamic modeling techniques, emphasizing the representation of distributed energy resources (DERs), power electronics, and control systems. Advanced control algorithms are discussed for real-time energy management, encompassing approaches like model predictive control and distributed consensus control. Moreover, the paper examines the role of communication networks in facilitating coordinated operation within microgrids and addresses cybersecurity concerns. Case studies and simulation results illustrate the efficacy of proposed methodologies in various operational scenarios, including islanded and grid-connected modes with diverse renewable energy penetration levels. The paper concludes by outlining future research avenues, including electric vehicle integration and peer-to-peer energy trading, underscoring the ongoing evolution of microgrid technology.
