This paper presents the development of a microgrid central controller in an inverter-based intelligent microgrid (iMG) lab in Aalborg University, Denmark and shows the performance of the whole system.
A microgrid central controller controls the load in the microgrid by properly managing the energy balance in the system. It compares the total generation with the load demand in microgrid and some non-critical loads is shaded if load demand becomes higher than the generation. MGCC regulates the voltage and frequency to maintain system stability

Abstract: The control system must regulate the system outputs, e.g. frequency and voltage, distribute the load among Microgrid (MG) units, and optimize operating costs while ensuring smooth transitions between operating modes. This chapter provides an overview of the main control challenges and solutions for MGs.

The iMG lab aims to provide a flexible experimental platform for comprehensive studies of microgrids. The complete control system applied in this lab is based on the hierarchical control
A Microgrid Central Controller (MGCC) can keep track of the status from the systemic point of view and command the local microsource controllers (MC) to ensure system stability.
A comparison of the characteristics of centralized, decentralized, and distributed control arrangements reveals that the microgrid central controller (MGCC) bears the majority of the computational load and the cost of computation in centralized control, whereas local controllers (LCs) bear the least of the load and the cost of computation in
The Layer 3 centralized controllers provide control functions that require status information from one or more Layer 1 devices. The algorithms in Layer 3 devices make decisions and send commands back to the Layer 1 equipment. Typical controls in Layer 3 include power factor control, intertie contract dispatching, demand response, dispatch of
Without the inertia associated with electrical machines, a power system frequency can change instantaneously, thus tripping off power sources and loads and causing a blackout. Microgrid control systems (MGCSs) are used to address these fundamental problems. The primary role of an MGCS is to improve grid resiliency.
Combining the size and ruggedness of a PLC with the power and ease-of-integration of the Ovation control system, the compact controller is ideal for microgrid applications. Compact microgrid controller integrated with field proven control systems to satisfy power demand and maintain stable operations with minimal staffing.
The different control and operation modes are discussed which shows the satisfactory performance of the DC microgrid operation in . To regulate the grid voltage and to control the load sharing between different sources, a voltage droop control method using Proportional (P) and Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is adopted with DC microgrid.
In A Central controller is designed for stable operation of microgrid. To adjust the voltage and frequency a droop control scheme is provided by connecting inverters in parallel. Automated load management is proposed to minimize the energy imbalance issue as presented in .
MGCC can maximize microgrids value by optimizing its operation on the basis of information on market price of electricity, gas, grid security etc. to decide the amount of power the microgrid may draw from the distribution system. MGCC sends the predefined control signals to the microsource controller and load controller.
To regulate the grid voltage and to control the load sharing between different sources, a voltage droop control method using Proportional (P) and Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is adopted with DC microgrid. The P and PI controller show a good load sharing characteristics.
