Hierarchical Control of DC Microgrid
Abstract: This work presents an extensive review of hierarchical control strategies that provide effective and robust control for a DC microgrid. . High penetration of Renewable Energy Resources (RESs) introduces numerous challenges into the Microgrids (MG), such as supply–demand imbalance, non-linear loads, voltage instability, etc. Hence, to address these issues, an effective control system is essential. DC microgrid is an efficient, scalable and reliable solution for electrification in remote areas and needs a reliable control scheme such as hierarchical. . Depending on the time and bandwidth requirements, microgrid controllers can be categorized to primary local controllers (LC) and secondary microgrid central controllers (MGCC).

Fault types of DC microgrids
Generally, there are two kinds of faults in DC micro-grids which are pole-to-pole and pole-to-ground faults (Salomonsson et al. The Fault in the system/grid and schemes that need to be addressed in modern power system involving DC Microgrid are studied. Finally, future. . Unlike conventional AC systems, the DC systems cannot sustain high-magnitude fault currents. On this basis, in this paper, three methods are investigated to detect a fault and determine its exact. .
