Abstract: 
Microgrids (MGs) are essential in advancing energy systems towards a low-carbon future, owing to their highly efficient network architecture that facilitates the flexible integration of various DC/AC loads, distributed renewable energy sources, and energy storage systems. They also offer enhanced resilience and cost-effective control, operation, and energy management for both on-grid and off-grid scenarios. Nevertheless, as new entrants to the utility grid, MGs encounter challenges stemming from the economic deregulation of energy systems, the restructuring of generation, and market-driven operations. This paper provides a thorough overview of existing research on MGs .It categorizes MGs and energy storage systems into several branches and typical combinations, which serve as the foundation for MG energy management.
