Artificial intelligence applications for distributed energy resources: a survey

Abstract

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) is a concept that is still being worked on in the power grid of today. It makes it possible for electricity and data to move back and forth between adjacent power sources in the networks and clusters of the electricity system. Smart Grid is meant to replace the old grid with a network of Distributed Energy Resources. It combines many new and old technologies, such as information and digital communication technologies, to do a lot of different things. With this, the New System would be ready to identify, respond, and act to changes in utilization and cope with a variety of issues while making sure the power system runs on time. Distributed energy resources are a big part of artificial intelligence (AI). In the past few years, these promising technologies have changed quickly and been used in a growing number of ways. This study focusses on analyzing the applications of AI on DER in the different areas of DER, such as renewable energy, grid control, energy management, and AI in virtual power plants.
