Abstract :
This paper reviews the hybridization techniques and system configurations for hybrid alternative energy systems. The topic is extended to the control and energy management of microgrids, the cornerstones of smart grids. A framework of distributed, hierarchical control for microgrids is also discussed in the paper.
