Exploring the Impact of Resilience of Hybrid Micro-Grid against Extreme Weather conditions: A review

Abstract

Hybrid microgrids are a vital element in the quest to meet the ever-increasing power demands in the future while also providing a means for generating energy in an environmentally friendly manner that aligns with sustainable practices. However, the journey toward establishing, operating, and effectively utilizing these innovative hybrid microgrids has various challenges. These challenges include the complexities of Optimization Control, the integration of Energy Storage systems, the need for economic viability, the considerations for Scalability and Replicability, the imperative of cybersecurity, the nuances of Grid Interpolarity, and the necessity for social Acceptance. In addition, it is vital to conduct thorough Environmental Impact Assessments, employ sophisticated Data Analytics, and leverage advanced Machine Learning Techniques, all while ensuring the system's Resilience against the increasingly severe and unpredictable extreme Weather Conditions that can arise. Among the myriad of issues listed above, this paper takes a focused approach by reviewing the vital aspect of Resilience within Hybrid Micro Grids, particularly concerning their capacity to withstand and adapt to extreme Weather Conditions, utilizing a combination of definitions, methodologies, and a detailed exploration of various influencing factors. Through this comprehensive examination, the paper seeks to illuminate the intricacies of fortifying Hybrid Micro Grids against environmental adversities, thereby enhancing their overall efficacy and reliability in the face of unpredictable challenges. Ultimately, the findings aim to contribute valuable insights that can assist in the advancement of Hybrid Micro Grids, ensuring they not only meet future energy demands but do so in a manner that is both sustainable and resilient.
