Abstract
The integration of information technology (IT) with solar and wind energy sources in microgrids is a burgeoning field that promises to revolutionize the energy landscape. This review paper comprehensively explores the synergistic approaches, advanced technologies, and policy frameworks driving the integration of IT-enabled solar and wind energy into microgrids. From advanced microgrid controllers and AI-based energy forecasting to blockchain-enabled peer-to-peer energy trading, the paper delves into innovative solutions enhancing energy efficiency, grid stability, and environmental sustainability. It also analyzes the pivotal role of policy incentives, interconnection standards, and market reforms in fostering the adoption of IT-enabled microgrid solutions. By synthesizing these advancements and regulatory considerations, the paper provides a holistic perspective on the challenges, opportunities, and future trends shaping the intersection of IT, renewable energy, and microgrid technologies.
