Abstract:

This research focuses on developing countries’ transition to sustainable energy, tackling the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources (RESs) and electric vehicles (EVs) into power grids using microgrid clusters (MGs).  The research studies the impact of large wind farms, manages reactive power, and develops adaptive control techniques to handle fluctuations in RESs and EV demand. Through optimized coordination with EVs in MGs, the study aims to improve voltage and frequency stability, making the power grid more resilient and adaptable for future energy needs.
