Comparison of controlling techniues employed in DC microgrids.

Technique Advantages Disadvantages References
Centralized control High level of controllability and observability. High dependency on communication networks.
Poor flexibility and expandability.
[29]
Decentralized control Simplicity.
High flexibility for expansions.
Fluctuations can occur due to lack of parameter availability for controlling. [30]
[31]
Distributed control Low dependency on communication.
Enhanced controllability.
High expandability.
Inefficient and suboptimal operation.
Increased complexity.
Potential for instability.
[32]
[33]
Hierarchical control High flexibility for expansions.
High robustness.
High efficiency.
High complexity
High cost
Only preferred to use in large scale DC microgrids.
