This paper presents the application of a hierarchical control scheme for islanded AC microgrids with a primary droop control and a centralized extended optimal power flow control. The centralized control is responsible for computing and sending, in an online manner, the control references to the primary controls in order to achieve three operational goals, i.e., improvement of the global efficiency, voltage regulation through reactive power management and compliance of the restrictions regarding the generation uni…
