With the price falling for both rooftop solar and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, DC microgrids — with a second socket for DC devices — could become a feature of future smart energy grids.
Research should explore integrating storage solutions to enhance the system's resilience and cost-effectiveness. DC microgrid systems can achieve much broader functions and could be applied to many areas due to developments in power electronics (converters), real-time controllers, and renewable energy resources.
From an efficiency perspective, DC microgrids provide a suitable infrastructure to integrate renewable energy resources into the power grid seamlessly (Kumar et al., 2020). Householders are encouraged to reconsider their energy distribution, aiming for a sustainable eco-system.
The main goal of incorporating a control system within a DC microgrid is to ensure several actions such as voltage regulation, proper current sharing, import and export of power, management energy storage, protection of equipment, decreasing the loss of power, minimizing the cost of operation (Yang et al., 2017).
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.
