The smart microgrid concept comes with several chal-lenges in research and engineering targeting load balancing, pricing, consumer inte-gration and home automation. In this paper we first provide an overview on these challenges and present approaches that target the problems. . Microgrid (MG) technologies offer users attractive characteristics such as enhanced power quality, stability, sustainability, and environmentally friendly energy through a control and Energy Management System (EMS). Sensors that respond to both electrical and non-electrical quantities must play a special role in such structures, as they form the technical basis for the. . A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and off-grid modes. Additionally, they reduce the load on the utility grid.
