TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed hierarchical control architecture for voltage and frequency stabilization and reactive power sharing in AC islanded microgrids is presented, where each generation unit is equipped with a local regulator for voltage stability acting on the corresponding voltage-source converter.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-level hierarchical control approach for voltage source inverters used to interface Distributed Generators (DGs) in microgrid applications is presented, which consists of voltage and current inner control loops in order to fix the filter capacitor voltage and a virtual impedance loop mainly for voltage harmonics and unbalance compensation.

TL;DR: A more complete primary control for DG systems that integrates with both VCM and CCM units is given and the power sharing effect among CCM and VCM DG units is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a power flow algorithm for LV hybrid AC-DC microgrid based on droop control and virtual impedance is proposed, which is validated by comparing it with steady state results from detailed time domain simulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a research project focusing on the development of future intelligent direct-current (DC) microgrids which is being deployed for highly efficient integration of distributed generation and modern electronic loads.
