      abstract = {The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources into power systems necessitates innovative control strategies to ensure grid stability and efficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive design and operational framework for a solar-powered microgrid integrated with demand response (DR) mechanisms. By leveraging solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and flexible load management, the proposed system enhances energy reliability, reduces dependency on fossil fuels, and offers peak load mitigation. A simulation-based case study illustrates the effectiveness of real-time demand response in reducing curtailment and improving load-generation balance. The study concludes with implementation insights and future research directions aimed at scalable deployment in both rural and urban contexts.},
