Growing shares of intermittent clean generation as well as variable loads lead to challenges for distribution systems at all levels. Energy management systems (EMS) are systems of computer-aided tools used by operators of electric utility grids to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of the generation, distribution or transmission system. EMS help to ensure grid stability and power quality, and can also be used in smaller scale systems such as microgrids.

Energy Management Systems for Microgrids with Wind, PV and Battery Storage gives a broad overview of EMS...
