This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent robust control strategies for hybrid AC/DC microgrids, systematically categorizing classical model-based, intelligent, and adaptive approaches. . Hybrid AC/DC microgrids have emerged as a promising solution for integrating diverse renewable energy sources, enhancing efficiency, and strengthening resilience in modern power systems. However, existing control schemes exhibit critical shortcomings that limit their practical effectiveness. . In this paper, we study the modeling, the control, and the power management strategy of a grid-connected hybrid alternating/direct current (AC/DC) microgrid based on a wind turbine generation system using a doubly fed induction generator, a photovoltaic generation system, and storage elements. . Hybrid AC–DC microgrid systems have recently emerged as a promising method for connecting AC loads with AC microgrid (ACM) and DC loads with DC microgrid (DCM). It is of great significance and value to design a reasonable power coordination control strategy to maintain the power balance of the system.

In this paper, a parallel operation strategy for inverters based on improved adaptive droop control and Equivalent Input Disturbance (EID) is proposed. . olved in order to improve the power supply quality and reliability. Parallel operation of inverter-based distributed generation systems, in the two modes of islanded microgrid operation and grid-connected operation, brings many control challenges to the microgrid including load sharing, stab lity. . The operation of parallel inverters in microgrids is an important way to expand system capacity, but there are problems of circulating current fluctuations and power sharing errors in parallel inverters' operation. Normally the AC microgrid is composed of hybrid inverters, other power generation equipment and some loads in parallel. Droop control or virtual syn-chronous generator is usually. . This paper proposes the study of a microgrid system based on photovoltaic sources capable of ensuring the operation in autonomous mode and grid connection mode considering the optimal power flow control using the Droop controller and the power quality improvement using an Active Power Filter.

summarized the technical challenges in microgrid operations, compatibility, integration of renewable energy, protection, and regulation., discussed the economic operation and reliability challenges of a 100% renewable energy power system. reviewed the flexibility of high-penetration renewable energy power systems.
To provide flexible power for the microgrid with the consideration of the randomness of renewable energies, diesel, natural gas, or fossil fuels are usually used for power generation in today's microgrid . However, using this kind of energy source will introduce carbon emissions.
Many articles have also pointed out that virtual power plants and microgrids will jointly assist the efficient operation of the power grid and play an important role in the future power system, .
This demonstration project focuses on two key areas of clean energy: energy efficiency (EE) in buildings and solar microgrids for rural electrification. Energy efficiency in buildings can contribute to slow down the electricity demand growth in the country and, thus, reduce greenhouse gas. . Now the RGC is trying to close the energy gap by providing off-grid villages with affordable and reliable electricity access using these renewable energy mini-grids, to achieve universal electrification and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Accordingly, the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). . Okra Solar has developed a creative solution, where the excess power not used by one household can be shared with the rest of the community. Whilst the government has reduced the number of off grid villages from over 14,000 to less than 500 by extending the national grid, using this approach to connect extremely remote villages. . 's sustainable energy transition.
