This paper presents a comprehensive review and analysis of optimal operating methods for the integration of distributed power generation within microgrids. The study explores various aspects of microgrid operation, including optimal dispatch strategies, demand-side management. . According to EPA, distributed energy is defined as follows: “Distributed generation refers to a variety of technologies that generate electricity at or near where it will be used, such as solar panels and combined heat and power. Distributed generation may serve a single structure, such as a home. . Two ways to ensure continuous electricity regardless of the weather or an unforeseen event are by using distributed energy resources (DER) and microgrids. DER produce and supply electricity on a small scale and are spread out over a wide area.
