This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent robust control strategies for hybrid AC/DC microgrids, systematically categorizing classical model-based, intelligent, and adaptive approaches. . Hybrid AC/DC microgrids have emerged as a promising solution for integrating diverse renewable energy sources, enhancing efficiency, and strengthening resilience in modern power systems. However, existing control schemes exhibit critical shortcomings that limit their practical effectiveness. . In this paper, we study the modeling, the control, and the power management strategy of a grid-connected hybrid alternating/direct current (AC/DC) microgrid based on a wind turbine generation system using a doubly fed induction generator, a photovoltaic generation system, and storage elements. . Hybrid AC–DC microgrid systems have recently emerged as a promising method for connecting AC loads with AC microgrid (ACM) and DC loads with DC microgrid (DCM). It is of great significance and value to design a reasonable power coordination control strategy to maintain the power balance of the system.

What are the control techniques in microgrids? The study classifies the control techniques into six categories: linear,non-linear,robust,predictive,intelligent and adaptive control techniques. 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 control classification aims to assess their intrinsic implementation performances within the dynamic. . This paper provides a comprehensive review of the structure and control objectives of microgrid hierarchical control, analysing in depth the differences and interrelationships between control levels in terms of timescale, hardware components, control tasks, decision-making mechanisms, and. . entation of control techniquesis required. Different microgrid structures with thei comparative analyses are illustrated. .
