In micro-grids, energy management is described as an information and control system that assures that both the generating and distribution systems deliver electricity at the lowest operating costs. Renewable energy sources (RESs), including electric vehicles (EVs), can be successfully used and carbon emissions reduced by establishing a DC multi-microgrid system (MMGS), which includes renewable energy sources (RESs) and the distribution network. A Multi-Microgrid based Energy Management (MM-GEM) system is suggested to increase the economics of MMGS and minimize the distribution network's network loss. MMG is a network of dispersed generators, energy storage, and adjustable loads in a distribution system that is linked. Furthermore, its operation is deconstructed to reduce communication and control costs with the decentralized structure. “Aside from enhancing system resilience, the MMGEMS substantially impacts energy efficiency, power quality, and dependability". Typical MMGEMS functionality and architecture are shown in detail. This is followed by examining current and developing technologies for monitoring and interacting with data among the MMG clusters. In addition, a wide range of MMG energy planning and control systems for interactive energy trading, multi-energy management, and resilient operations are fully examined and researched. The economic effect of the EVs’ energy transfer over time and place is examined.
