Abstract
Due to a number of financial and operational difficulties that have lately been faced by power plants, the electricity industry is exploring a concept as the smart grid to address the problems in the future. There will be significant differences in the conventional power system in the transmission into a smart network, such that when the demand increases, the system does not necessarily generate more electricity to meet consumption needs. In other words, power generation will not be directly dependent on consumption; instead, it will function through reducing losses, managing user demand and cooperating with consumers in order to optimize the load. All of the proposed approaches ensure that the balance between generation and consumption is increased without creating inevitable generation. The smart grid is capable of improving the operation of its components via reducing power costs, reducing additional charges, ensuring maintenance and saving costs of electricity generation, meeting demand and helping to protect the environment. Smart grid energy systems have been developing constantly in order to be able to integrate renewable energy resources, energy storage systems, diesel generators, loads, control systems, etc., which are called microgrids or hybrid power systems, where energy management and planning are of critical importance. There are several functions that are to be considered when dealing with the planning of microgrids, such as load forecasting, the uncertainty of renewable sources, reduction of CO2 emissions, etc.
