Introduction
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in renewable energy sources due to their potential to mitigate the effects of climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide reliable and sustainable energy solutions [1]. Micro grids, which are smallscale, power grids that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid, have also gained attention as a means to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and resilience [2][3][4].
Integrating renewable energy sources with micro grids presents a promising solution for meeting the increasing demand for clean and sustainable energy [5] [16]. By harnessing the power of solar, wind, and other renewable sources, micro grids can reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels and provide a more resilient energy infrastructure [6] [18]. However, managing and optimizing the integration of these sources presents significant challenges, such as managing variability, intermittency, and reliability.
To address these challenges, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) technologies has emerged as a promising solution. IoT technologies enable the integration of sensors and devices to monitor and control the flow of energy in the micro grid, while ML algorithms can analyze data and make real-time decisions to optimize the performance of the system [7] [19].
IoT and ML technologies have the potential to improve the efficiency and reliability of micro grids by providing real-time data analysis and decision-making capabilities. For example, IoT sensors can collect data on weather conditions, energy consumption, and production, allowing ML algorithms to make predictions and adjust the energy flow accordingly [8] [17]. This can help to ensure that energy is being generated and distributed efficiently and effectively.

Moreover, the use of IoT and ML technologies can enable the development of intelligent energy management systems that can make real-time decisions based on data analysis. For example, if there is excess energy production from a renewable source, the system can automatically adjust the energy flow to store the energy in batteries or divert it to other users in the micro grid [9][10][11]. This can help to ensure that the energy is being utilized effectively and efficiently.

The integration of renewable energy sources with micro grids using IoT and ML technologies has the potential to transform the energy sector and provide sustainable and reliable energy solutions. However, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed [4] [12]. For example, ensuring the security and privacy of the data collected by IoT sensors is critical, as this information can be used to make decisions that impact the entire micro grid. Additionally, developing ML algorithm that can accurately predict energy demand and production patterns is essential for optimizing the energy flow within the micro grid.
