The introduction of microgrids in distribution networks based on power electronics facilitates the use of
renewable energy resources, distributed generation (DG) and storage systems while improving the
quality of electric power and reducing losses thus increasing the performance and reliability of the
electrical system. The hierarchical control structure, which consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary
levels for microgrids that mimic the behavior of the mains grid, is reviewed. The main objective of this
article is to give a description of state of the art for distributed power generation systems (DPGS) based
on renewable energy and explore the power converters connected in parallel to the grid which are
distinguished by their contribution to the formation of the grid voltage and frequency and are
accordingly classied in three classes. This analysis is extended focusing mainly on the three classes
of congurations: grid-forming, grid-feeding, and grid-supporting. The article ends up with an overview
and a discussion of the control structures and strategies to control distribution power generation system
(DPGS) units connected to the network.

1. Introduction
Today, there is an increasing use of small-scale renewable power
sources into modern electric grids, because the current growing
demand for electrical energy [1,2]. Photovoltaics, wind power and
hydroelectric power are three of the renewable energies that are
mostly used; they are clean for the environment and inexhaustible.
This renewable energy has experienced rapid technological development, which makes them at affordable prices. This advantage allows
the energy security of countries to reduce imports of fossil fuels, which
allows maintaining a lower cost than usual prices and improves the
standard of living without harming the environment, especially in a
time when the economic crisis is timely. Another advantage, they can
easily support the electrical network in remote sites and rural areas
[2]. As shown in Fig. 1, the rate of investment of wind energy was
more important in 2010, but it started dropping in 2011, 2012 and
2013 in contrast to the solar energy that has experienced the same
problem a year later compared to wind power. Despite the economic
problems many countries support programs connecting renewable
energy with global and local power grid. In order to integrate different
kinds of renewable energy sources, the concept of microgrid (MG) was
proposed several years ago [3]. A microgrid can be dened as a part of
the grid consisting of prime energy movers, power electronics converters, distributed energy storage systems, and local loads [4].
This makes the electrical network more exible and intelligent [5].
Microgrids and virtual power plants (VPPs) are two low voltage
distribution network concepts that can participate in active network
management of a smart grid [6,7]. They are becoming an important
concept to integrate distributed generation (DG) and energy storage
systems [5,8]. The interest of DG grows and is taking importance [9]
when it is composed of different energy resources: Photovoltaics, wind
power and hydroelectric power with electrical energy storage (EES) (e.
g., batteries or super capacitors) [6] forming a Hybrid Energy System
(HES) [2], because they can easily support the electrical network in
island mode and rural areas or grid- connection mode. Other nonrenewable based power systems (diesel or gas), whose generation
prole can be easily controlled are also likely to be integrated into
microgrids [10]. This gives the user the possibility to produce and store
part of the electrical power of the whole system [9]. The use of DPGS
makes no sense without using distributed storage systems to cope
with the energy balances [5]. Microgrids should be able to locally solve
energy problems and hence increase exibility [11]. The advance
carried in recent years in power electronics makes this latter very
attractive when integrating renewable energy resources, distributed
energy storage systems and active loads [4,12]. The Power Electronic

stressing more and more the capability of the DPGS to run over short
grid disturbances [20]. This document provides the structure of a
DGPS system based on renewable energy, with the properties of these
two important parts: input / grid side controllers. It presents the
overview and Design of the Hierarchical Control of Microgrid followed
by the contribution of the power inverter to the formation of the grid
voltage and frequency, mainly focusing on the three classes of: gridforming congurations, grid-feeding, and grid-supporting. An overview of design and simulation tools is presented and we nish with a
state of the art of the control structures and strategies to (DGPS)
connected to network.
2. Introduction to microgrids
Microgrids are emerging as an integral feature of the future
power systems shaped by the various smart-grid initiatives [24].
This new approach to the integration of distributed energy
resources (DER) is due to the rapid growth of systems of decentralized energy production and is opening promising perspectives
in the sustainable energy sector. A microgrid can be considered as
a local grid. It is formed by integrating loads, multiple distributed
generators (DGs), ESS could also be used to control the net power
ows to and from the utility in the grid connected mode [25]. Such
microgrids also include exible AC transmission system (FACTS)
control devices such as power ow controllers and voltage
regulators as well as protective relays and circuit breakers [26],
the MG is able to operate either in grid-connected or islanded
mode, with possibility of seamless transitions between them.
An important advantage of microgrids is improving energy efciency
with systems producing combined heat and power (CHP), which
capture thermal energy resulting from the production of electricity for
a variety of heating needs (hot water steam, heating and cooling); this
provides opportunities to optimize the DGPS [27,28]. The microgrid is
responsible to answer these criteria [2931]:

High cost and net metering may pose obstacles for Microgrid;
The need for custom engineering;
Interconnection standards need to be developed to ensure
consistency.
The control and protection hardware are one of the most
important challenges for facing the implementation of Microgrids and ensure the supplying of the customers in island mode;
Resynchronization with the utility grid is difcult [37,42]:
The ability to maintain synchronism after transition to
island operation is crucial from stability point of view;
Synchronized reconnection of island operated microgrid
back to utility grid means that the voltage angle difference
between utility grid and microgrid should be minimized
before re-connection in order to prevent voltage disturbances in the MG.
The small errors in voltage set points, can create circulating
currents that exceed the limits of the Micro source, which
causes voltage and/or reactive power oscillations. Likewise in
island mode, the need to change power-operating points, for
frequency generation to match load changes, can create problems and slight errors in frequency generation. Henceforth,
this makes these parameters (Voltage, frequency and power
quality) very important and they must be considered and
controlled to acceptable standards.
The unequal line impedances and DG output impedances signicantly affect the accuracy of reactive power control during gridconnected operation mode and the reactive power sharing during
islanding mode due to the unequal voltage drops[36].

capability for fast responding to these disturbances;
Provides ride-through capability when there are dynamic
variations in intermittent energy sources and allows the DGs
to operate as dispatchable units;
Provides the initial energy requirement for a seamless transition

The tertiary control level is responsible for regulating the power ows
(the import or export of energy) between the grid and the microgrid at
the PCC and to provide load balancing by using an optimal power ow
solver. Thus, the active and reactive power ows can be exported or
imported independently [3,4,6,8,57,58,79,80].

capacitor current of the output lter to reach a fast dynamic
response while maintaining the system stable);
the intermediate virtual impedance loop (to emulate physical
output impedance);
the outer active and reactive power sharing loops (whose
function is to regulate the output voltage).

power balancing [81]. Grid-feeding power converters are controlled in current and can be represented as ideal current sources
connected to the grid in parallel and presenting high parallel
output impedance. These power converters are suitable to operate
in parallel with other grid-feeding power converters in gridconnected mode. Actually, most of the power converters belonging
to DG systems operate in grid-feeding mode, like in PV or wind
power systems [23].
The scheme control of the grid-feeding power converter is
depicted in Fig. 7, where P n and Q n represent the active and the
reactive powers to be delivered, respectively. Control of the output
voltage is no longer a purpose, and thus the control scheme
comprises only the primary current control [81].
The grid-feeding should be perfectly synchronized with the ac
voltage at the connection point, in order to regulate accurately the
active and reactive power exchanged with the grid. This is why we
must use phase locked loop. Based on the choice of dq reference, the
amplitude of V q has a null value, while V d is equal to the amplitude of
the voltage; the current id has control over the active component
while the current iq has control over the reactive component.
Henceforth the desired direct id and quadrature iq current components
are easily derived from the active P n and reactive Q n power components by dividing them by the direct voltage component U d . Gridfeeding power converters cannot operate in island mode if there is no
grid-forming or grid-supporting power converter, or a local synchronous generator, setting the voltage amplitude and frequency of the ac
microgrid [10].

systems, traditionally being grid-forming. Starting from a gridforming inverter, when adding the possibility of parallel operation,
the most straightforward evolution is towards the scheme
of Fig. 6 [81].
From Table 2, it is apparent that grid-forming and grid-feeding
components are two extremes, whereas the grid-supporting
component is in fact a generalization, having properties that lie
between both extremes [81].

but for the case in which the system parameters vary within
certain limits; they can also guarantee the performance with the
worst-case disturbance. Its basic principle is to minimize the
inuence of the disturbances to outputs. Hornik and Zhong [117]
have proposed a current controller design based on H1 and
repetitive control techniques for grid-connected inverters to
reduce current total harmonic distortion (THD). The H1 current
controller allows maintaining a balanced neutral point for a threephase four-wire inverter and can eliminate the current owing
through the split capacitors [118]. The current controller consists
of an internal model and a stabilizing compensator, using the H1
control theory, to deal a very large number of harmonics simultaneously by injecting a clean sinusoidal current to the grid, even in
the presence of nonlinear/unbalanced loads and/or grid-voltage
distortions [119]. A voltage controller based on H1 and repetitive
control techniques is proposed, and a frequency adaptive mechanism is introduced to improve system performance and to cope
with grid frequency variations. The repetitive control, based on the
internal model principle, offers excellent performance for voltage
tracking, as it can deal with a very large number of harmonics
simultaneously [120]. The cascaded current-voltage control strategy proposed includes an inner voltage loop and an outer current
loop, with both controllers designed using the H1 repetitive
control strategy, in order to simultaneously improve the power
quality of the inverter local load voltage and the current owing
within the micro grid. This leads to a very low THD in both the
micro grid voltage and the grid current. It also enables seamless
transfer of the operation mode from stand-alone to gridconnected or vice versa and also allows grid-connected inverters
to inject balanced clean currents to the grid even when the local
loads (if any) are unbalanced and/or nonlinear [121] [122].
