Introduction
In recent years, the increasing demand for reliable and sustainable energy sources has led to the development of microgrids as a viable solution for decentralized power generation and distribution. Microgrids are small-scale power systems that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid, providing energy security and resilience during grid outages or emergencies. However, designing a resilient microgrid that can effectively meet the energy needs of its users while maintaining stability and reliability poses a significant challenge.
One promising approach to addressing this challenge is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into microgrid design and operation. AI has the potential to optimize the performance of microgrids by enabling real-time monitoring, control, and decision-making processes. This thesis explores the role of AI in resilient microgrid design and its implications for the future of sustainable energy systems.
