Abstract

The integration of renewable energy sources into the power system is an important step towards a sustainable energy transition. This transition could subsequently introduce substantial variability that critically impacts key operational parameters, such as frequency and voltage. This variability poses significant challenges, especially within microgrid configuration, both in grid-connected and isolated modes. Therefore, ensuring the stability of these parameters I paramount of their operational efficiency, reliability, and longevity. Despite these challenges, recent advancements in the field have led to the development of numerous advanced methodologies and control strategies designed to mitigate the impact of renewable sources on microgrid frequency stability. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of these state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies, including cutting-edge technologies such as adaptive load frequency control and Time-series prediction-based approaches. It offers insights into their application, effectiveness, and advantages in frequency control during microgrid operation, contributing to the ongoing discourse on integrating renewable energy sources with enhanced grid stability. Moreover, the discussion section provides insights and barriers impacting the implementation of these technologies in the current microgrid system and the power grid in general.
