The advances in wireless networks made them viable for control actions and energy management signals exchange. The multi-agent is promising for both control and management of MGs, are there any other research directions?
The research is going to unify multi-diseplenary directions. One nice title is Energy Informatics. Any system consists of information (can be technical or nontechnical!), information processing, communication, and actions (taking decisions).
Future Microgrids and smart grids are poised to be extremely multidisciplinary systems. The control logic and dynamics will also require multiple communication systems and wireless systems will be one of them.
