In this paper, the motivation to develop microgrids as an effective solution for the control of distribution networks with high level penetration of Distributed Energy Resources(DERs) is discussed. As many different control methods for microgrids can be found in literature, this paper proposes a classification from highly centralized to distributed peer-to-peer control architectures. A peer-to-peer control paradigm is proposed as a way to control the distribution network with a high penetration of distributed energy resources. Different control algorithms suited for the proposed peer-to-peer control strategy are discussed.
