This communication system, however, is not immune to intentional or unintentional failures. This paper discusses the effects of communication link failures on MG control and management and proposes solutions based on enhancing message content to mitigate their detritus impact. In order to achieve this goal, generation and consumption forecasting using deep learning (DL) methods at the next time steps is used. The architecture of an energy management system (EMS) and an energy storage system (ESS) that are able to operate in coordination is introduced and evaluated by simulation tests, which show promising results and illustrate the efficacy of the proposed methods. It is important to mention that, in this paper, three dissimilar topics namely MG control\/management, DL-based forecasting, and D2D communication architectures are employed and this combination is proven to be capable of achieving the aforesaid objective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22166006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]],"date-time":"2022-08-11T23:05:49Z","timestamp":1660259149000},"page":"6006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Reducing Detrimental Communication Failure Impacts in Microgrids by Using Deep Learning Techniques"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3332-0508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Babak","family":"Arbab-Zavar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AAU Energy, Aalborg University, DK-9220 Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7335-8503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suleiman M.","family":"Sharkh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and the Physical Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2703-6532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilio J.","family":"Palacios-Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), KU Leuven, ELECTA, BE-3001 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"EnergyVille, Thor Park 8310, BE-3600 Genk, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6332-385X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan C.","family":"Vasquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AAU Energy, Aalborg University, DK-9220 Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5236-4592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josep M.","family":"Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AAU Energy, Aalborg University, DK-9220 Aalborg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apenergy.2015.08.040","article-title":"Energy management strategy for a renewable-based residential microgrid with generation and demand forecasting","volume":"158","author":"Pascual","year":"2015","journal-title":"Appl.
