Microgrids play a crucial role in promoting energy resilience, sustainability, and grid flexibility, making them suitable for a variety of applications, including remote communities, industrial complexes, military bases, and critical infrastructure. They contribute to a more decentralized and adaptable energy infrastructure.

Microgrid control is a crucial aspect of managing a distributed energy system, enabling efficient and reliable operation. The control system of a microgrid is responsible for coordinating the various components within the microgrid, optimizing energy flows, and ensuring stability. Designing, controlling, and managing the energy of a renewable-based microgrid with electric vehicle (EV) integration and battery energy storage (BESS) involves several key components and considerations. This aims to conduct research on several areas including (i) system design- renewable energy sources, microgrid architecture, power converter and control (ii) Control strategy – grid forming control, power management, voltage/frequency regulation (iii) energy management – battery/supercapacitor energy storage, EV integration, demand management (iv) Integration with the power grid- grid interconnection, grid services (v) Regulatory and policy – regulatory framework, policy support, (vi) security framework. By addressing these aspects comprehensively, we can design, control, and manage a renewable-based grid-forming microgrid with EV and BESS integration effectively, optimizing energy utilization, enhancing grid resilience, and contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable energy future. By incorporating these cybersecurity measures into the design, control, and energy management of the renewable-based microgrid with EV and BESS integration, you can enhance the overall resilience of the system against cyber threats and contribute to the secure and reliable operation of the microgrid.
