Abstract : The electrical demand of the world is shifting from conventional grid-based electricity to non-conventional-based renewable resources technologies. Distributed generation (DG) plays the vital role in accommodating various kinds of renewable sources of energy with the state of the art technology termed as microgrid. The consolidation of different types of energy sources becomes possible with the technology of voltage source converters. An efficacious interfacing of renewable resources is established by VSI with sophisticated control mechanism. This paper is motivated to review different types of control strategies to effectively improve the stability, reliability, power quality and power sharing mechanism of microgrid network. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of inner loop and primary control are discussed and compared to lead the future research towards robust development of control topologies for the microgrid. This review paper discusses the demand side management by adopting the method of voltage reduction, and finally, it is intended to direct the research towards power saving phenomena to accommodate greater number of loads in near future.
