Microgrid control is a complex and many-layered topic. The first decisions a researcher or microgrid implementer must make are related to the structure of the control architecture – whether it will be centralized, distributed, or somewhere in between; how the control hierarchy will be arranged (if any exists); and whether the controller will perform supply side management (such
