Emerging trends in microgrids technologyand prospects for their implementation in Ukraine

This reseaech explores the expediency and future prospects оf microgrids implementing. Their potential applications in various sectors like transportation, military operations, and civil infrastructure have been analyzed. The research involved reviewing current literature and real-world case studies tо highlight the benefits that microgrids offer, such as enhanced energy reliability, reduced costs, and improved security.  A detailed PESTLE analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental factors) оf implementing microgrids іn Ukraine has been done. The reuslts have shown that with the right combination оf regulatory support, financial investment, and technological innovation, including advancements іn blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, microgrids can become a cornerstone оf resilient and sustainable energy systems. This research offers an overwiev for researchers, policymakers and investors interested іn promoting energy independence and stability after afterwar rebuilding of Ukraine.
