The integration of highly fluctuated distributed generations (such as PVs, Wind Turbines, Electric Vehicles, and Energy storage systems) threatens the stability of the power and distribution systems. The main cause is that the power ratio between the supply and demand may not be in the balanced condition due to unexpected demand. An excess shortage in the generation or consumption of power may disturb the network and create severe problems such as voltage drop (or) rise and in severe conditions also blackouts. To maintain a proper balance between the supply and the demand in an efficient way and to reduce the peak load during unexpected periods, energy management systems are utilized. Energy Management can be broadly divided into two main categories. The first one is on the side of the supplier such as electric utility, in which some generators are turned ON or OFF to follow the fluctuation of the load demand. The second one is that on the consumer side and it is also called as the demand-side management. In the demand-side management, the consumers will manage their energy consumption so that they will manage with the available power from the generation side. The main goal of energy management system is to reduce the cost of operation and consumption, so as to reduce the energy losses and increase the reliability of the network. Energy management has many barriers and limitations. However, it has a prominent future in which most of the current researchers are focusing on developing sophisticated algorithms and models to better manage the energy on the Power grid.
