This chapter focuses on the energy management system (EMS) for a microgrid (MG). The hierarchy of the various controllers utilized in the EMS is presented. Various programming methods can be used for optimizing the behavior of the EMS such that the MG can operate in a safe and reliable manner to match the demanded load with the available energy sources. The requirements for a communication system within the MG are briefly discussed. A test case with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is provided.
