As microgrids become increasingly integral to the global energy landscape, addressing challenges such as system stability, integration with renewable energy sources, communication complexities, and regulatory barriers is paramount.
In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of Smart Grid technology, specifically focusing on the challenges presented by cybersecurity, interoperability, and renewable energy integration. These aspects were determined to be the most prevalent issues facing the advancement of Smart Grids, specifically for global application.
Central power system failures have persisted as a result of the microgrids' instability. Microgrid technology integration at the load level has been the main focus of recent research in the field of microgrids. The conventional power grids are now obsolete since it is difficult to protect and operate numerous interconnected distributed generators.
Due to the distributed nature of microgrids and the integration of different energy sources, protection issues can arise, significantly impacting the system [ ]. One of the principal protection issues facing microgrids is the occurrence of faults, such as short circuits, which can cause damage to equipment and disrupt the system's operation.
The modernization of the traditional power system is now becoming the prime concern to make it digitalized with the aid of renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, smart metering
