This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the microgrid (MG) concept, including its
definitions, challenges, advantages, components, structures, communication systems, and …

Microgrid is a new concept for future energy distribution system that enables renewable
energy integration. It generally consists of multiple distributed generators that are usually …

This paper is concerned with the privacy-preserving distributed economic dispatch problem
(ED) of microgrids. A homomorphically encrypted consensus algorithm is developed in the …

Distributed generation (DG) is one of the key components of the emerging microgrid concept
that enables renewable energy integration in a distribution network. In DG unit operation …

Due to the inherently distributed and heterogeneous nature of the microgrids, distributed
control can be a promising approach to improve the stability, reliability, and scalability of the …

This paper presents a novel secondary frequency and voltage control method for islanded
microgrids based on distributed cooperative control. The proposed method utilizes a sparse …

For microgrids with connected but sparse communication networks, consensus-based
approach can provide a distributed solution to the economic dispatch problem. However, as …

As the penetration of renewable energy sources is increasing in the AC micro-grid, the
stability of the closed-loop system has raised a major concern since conventional distributed …

This paper proposes a distributed control architecture for battery energy storage systems
(BESSs) based on multi-agent system framework. The active/reactive power sharing, the …

In this paper, cost-based droop schemes are proposed, to minimize the total active power
generation cost in an islanded microgrid (MG), while the simplicity and decentralized nature …
