This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of DC-DC Converters topologies used in DC Microgrids. The advantages and limitations of classical and recent converter topologies are discussed. The Hierarchical Control Strategies-Primary and Secondary controls have been reviewed. Primary control relies only on local measurements used for proper load sharing among converters. Secondary control is a coordinated control with some form of communication for additional functionalities. A brief note on protection and the key challenges faced in DC Microgrid operation have also been discussed. This paper gives a brief idea about the recent developments and overall operation of DC Microgrid.en-USEnergy & FuelsEngineeringConference Paper410-415Proceedings PaperWOS:000436028900070
