The primary control ensures frequency (f) and voltage (V) stability, whereas the secondary control adjusts their values to their references and the tertiary control efficiently manages the power of distributed generators (DGs) in a cost-effective manner. . This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of control strategies for AC microgrids (MG) and presents a confidently designed hierarchical control approach divided into different levels. These levels are specifically designed to perform functions based on the MG's mode of operation, such as. . A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. It can connect and disconnect from the grid to operate in grid-connected or island mode.

This chapter introduces concepts of DC MicroGrids exposing their elements, features, modeling, control, and applications. Renewable energy sources, en-ergy storage systems, and loads are the basics components of a DC MicroGrid. "The path of the smart grid. " Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC), IEEE, 2011. Why DC microgrids?. However, a new concept is emerging, as the electrical distribution networks characterized by DC transmission are beginning to be considered as a promising solution due to technological advances. The demand for electrical power in large industrial manufacturing plants, such as steel production facilities, is on the rise [1]. This approach moves power generation closer to where it is consumed for a more resilient, localized option to promote energy independence. .
