Microgrids 4.0: digitalization of microgrid with IoT and recent
Microgrids with the advantages of being flexible, environmentally friendly, and self-sufficient can improve the power system performance metrics such as resiliency and reliability.
Increasing digitalization is exposing microgrids to cyberattacks, potentially impairing voltage and frequency stability and power sharing performance, thus threatening operational reliability and energy security.
The term “microgrid” refers to the concept of a small number of DERs connected to a single power subsystem. DERs include both renewable and /or conventional resources . The electric grid is no longer a one-way system from the 20th-century . A constellation of distributed energy technologies is paving the way for MGs, , .
First, microgrids exhibit high churn, with nodes frequently joining and leaving the network, which affects the efficiency of centralized key management solutions. Second, microgrids can operate in parallel with the existing power grid or in islanded mode.
Electricity distribution networks globally are undergoing a transformation, driven by the emergence of new distributed energy resources (DERs), including microgrids (MGs). The MG is a promising potential for a modernized electric infrastructure, .
Microgrids with the advantages of being flexible, environmentally friendly, and self-sufficient can improve the power system performance metrics such as resiliency and reliability.
Reliable power systems can enhance social and economic development. However, the unavailability of digital measurement devices, proper communication channels and electric grid
