Using peer-reviewed publications from 2013 to 2024 using the most commonly used reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses approach, this study examines developments in MG planning and optimization for sustainable energy integration. . Microgrids (MGs) have the potential to be self-sufficient, deregulated, and ecologically sustainable with the right management. Additionally, they reduce the load on the utility grid. However, given that they depend on unplanned environmental factors, these systems have an unstable generation. . Microgrids are an emerging technology that offers many benefits compared with traditional power grids, including increased reliability, reduced energy costs, improved energy security, environmental benefits, and increased flexibility. However, several challenges are associated with microgrid. . ir integration to the electrical power network. . Problems with microgrids in steady state Problems with microgrids in steady state Does microgrid have a stability problem? In recent times, with the increase in the penetration of various renewable energy sources (RESs) into power systems, the complications related to the stability issues have. . Grid dynamics are being impacted by decreasing inertia, as conventional generators with massive spinning cores are replaced by dc renewable sources. This leads to a risk of destabilization and places an upper limit on the volume of renewable power sources that can be installed.
