Abstract: With the explosion in energy consumption demand, the deep penetration of renewable energy into the grid is inevitable and has become trend across the world today. Microgrids with integrated renewable energy are the core components of smart grids and will permeate all areas of human activity. Although this grid has a very flexible working principle, its heavy reliance on renewable energy sources can cause significant disturbances to the electric transmission system. Therefore, the control and monitoring processes for microgrids must be implemented through various mechanisms to ensure the microgrid system operates safely, stably, and effectively. In this paper, the research team will introduce and synthesize the multilevel control scheme of current types of microgrids. We will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each type of MG, providing a reference for further research in the field of microgrid control applications, both current and in the near future.
