Abstract

The current challenges of the current power system are to face-up with the integration of the increased renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, access to the energy market in an optimal manner, reconfiguration under faults using microgrid concept, being capable to assure more flexibility, and stability, through advanced control. The chapter makes a modern introduction into the DC microgrid architectures and their control. As the most used control into the DC microgrids, the hierarchical control is presented. In order to guide the readers, the most used standards related to DC microgrids are presented. As case study, the advanced control of the utility converter has been developed and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. Nowadays, the security protection of the energy network is a concern. An introduction to cyber-physical system (CPS) related to the power system field is presented.
