TL;DR: The major issues and challenges in microgrid control are discussed, and a review of state-of-the-art control strategies and trends is presented; a general overview of the main control principles (e.g., droop control, model predictive control, multi-agent systems).

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology of intervention for the introduction of a smart microgrid system in a rural community is proposed, based on the concept of a community as a socio-ecological system approach affected by a technological intervention, aimed to move towards a stage of more sustainable use of resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel heuristic is developed for identifying the number and locations of critical monitoring spans for the implementation of DTR, based on the use of historical-simulated weather data, obtained from a Mesoscale Weather Model, and the statistical analysis of the thermal capacities computed in each span along the line.

TL;DR: In this article, an approach for implementing microgrid projects at the institutional level by means of a specific entity that uses methods that engage the community in microgrid operation and maintenance (OM), which ensures long-run benefits.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel SCADA approach for a renewable based microgrid is proposed, which provides online set points for each generation unit, operation modes for a water supply system, and signals for consumers based on a demand side management mechanism.
