The primary control ensures frequency (f) and voltage (V) stability, whereas the secondary control adjusts their values to their references and the tertiary control efficiently manages the power of distributed generators (DGs) in a cost-effective manner.

Control Systems: Microgrid controllers, considered the “brain” of the microgrid, can range from $50,000 to $90,000 for systems depending on how many elements (sensors, assets, or site-specific solutions) you need to control. These costs can increase significantly for more.
