“…According to the findings, the architecture is a fundamental base for the implementation of a micro grid and thus, needs to take into account political, economic, technical, environmental, social and cultural factors, demand response has already been proven to have great potential to contribute to increased system efficiency while bringing additional benefits, especially to consumers. [48]. Table 7 shows a set of general factors characterized in this study that helps determine the design, implementation and start-up of a micro grid architecture.…”

Introduction: Generation and energy consumption are a major issue in different countries around the world. Nowadays, projects under development seek the modernization of electric power generation and distribution systems. One of the main strategies is the design of context-adaptable micro-grid architectures. The micro-grid concept focuses on a controlled, monitored and highly autonomous use of electric power supported on information technologies, for the optimization of energy transfer, minimize risks and increase the system’s quality, efficiency and reliability. Goal: This article, therefore, aims to identify, classify and compare different micro-grid architectures, based on their applicability and research trends. Method: A systematic mapping study of micro-grid architectures is conducted to examine the experimental and theoretical contributions made by the scientific community. Results: This article categorizes and quantifies the different studies related to the subject, identifying and analyzing the strengths and opportunities for improvement in the applicability of micro-grid architectures. The trends observed highlight five strategies as the most relevant, whose different characteristics contribute to an automated and intelligent organization of the distribution, control and supervision of electricity according to supply versus demand.

“…To overcome these challenges and pave the way toward efficient energy transition, novel software solutions called Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) are emerging (EPRI, 2021a, 2021b; Faria, 2019; IEEE, 2021; Ilic et al, 2020; Petrovic et al, 2019; Rahman et al, 2021; Strezoski et al, 2022; Strezoski & Stefani, 2021; Strezoski, Stefani, et al, 2019; Strezoski, Vojnovic, et al, 2019; J. Wang, Chen, et al, 2015; Q. Wang, Zhang, et al, 2015; Wang et al, 2020). DERMS solutions aim to offer distribution system operators (DSOs), grid planners and engineers, as well as end‐customers and prosumers an opportunity to enter a new era of active and dynamic distribution systems, and even gain both technical and monetary benefits from this transition.…”

Due to an ever-increasing rise in proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs), the paradigm of passive electrical distribution networks is shifting toward active distribution systems. This new environment introduces a plethora of challenges that cannot be managed by traditional tools, whose utilization could compromise the reliability and efficient operation of distribution feeders. This article systematically reviews state of the art in different DERs management software solutions available today. Additionally, it establishes distinguished roles and responsibilities of different levels of hierarchy in distinct solutions that are all commonly called DERs management systems-DERMS (e.g., fully centralized versus fully decentralized DER management solutions). Lastly, it offers a viewpoint on the directions that hold potential for the power system community and industry to explore for further developments of more robust and intelligent DERMS, to successfully enable efficient transition into a new era of clean and sustainable power systems, encompassing active and dynamically changing distribution circuits.

“…The Special Issue "Distributed Energy Resources Management 2018" includes 13 papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], and is a continuation of the Special Issue "Distributed Energy Resources Management" published in https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/special_issues/distributed_energy_resources_ management2018. The success of the previous Special Issue, for which the summary is published in [14], shows the unquestionable relevance of distributed energy resources in the operation of power and energy systems at both the distribution level, and at the wide power system level. Improving the management of distributed energy resources makes possible the accommodation of a higher penetration of intermittent distributed generation and electric vehicle charging stations.…”
