Voltage regulator
- Centralized for each dc MG
- Distributed over the MG cluster
- Regulates the voltage inside each MG to the
nominal value when they are not connected.
- Maintains the bus voltages within an
acceptable range when they are connected.

Power flow regulator
- Using the distributed voltage regulator
power flow control is achieved.
- Regulates the power flow between dc
MGs when they are connected.
- Power flow is regulated according to
SOC of batteries inside the MGs.
