Microgrids are attracting a great deal of attention as integrated renewable energy resource can benefit both the utility and the customers. The droop-control method is popular for the microgrid stable operation as it avoids circulating currents among the converters without using any critical communication between them. The distributed generators should have high speed to follow the reference given by the droop controller, otherwise the system will fluctuate and even black out. Renewable energy powered Distributed Generators (DGs) are mostly inverter-interfaced and controlled by PI controllers. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was used to optimize the PI parameters with the objective of high tracking speed of the Inverter-interfaced DGs. Simulation studies in Matlab demonstrate the effectiveness of the optimized control parameters.

This research coveys a comparative analysis between Urban Building energy model (UBEM) generated by scholar, researchers, and professional in academia and industry while highlighting the reliable main components to manifest a successful and reliable UBEM technologies. Nevertheless, it consolidates distributed generation on building blocks rather than a whole district relying on renewable energy sources. It guides engineers through energy system model simulation on Openmodelica platform to feed green sustained communities. Moreover, energy use-pattern is mapped and analyzed by internet of things (IOT) technologies to fine-tune energy uses and refine use-pattern. Demonstrating artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithmto predict energy consumption can reflect on the amount of energy required for storage to cover energy needs. AI shapes a robust positive energy district (PED) through storinggenerated renewable solar or bio-energy to cover predicted energy use-pattern.Distributed -power-plant stations capacity to cover clusters using AI in predicting energy consumption consolidates on-site energy generation recommended by multiple International rating systems. AI-based Energy management plan guide engineers and planners to design distributed-power-plants of energy generation capacity lies between the actual energy need and a predicted scenario.
