A Hybrid Renewable Sources Implementation for a DC Microgrid with Flatness-Nonlinear Control to Achieve Efficient Energy Management Strategy by Furqan A. Abbas, Adel A.Obed, Ammar Alhasiri, Salam J. Yaqoob

“…Because of the nonlinear system's behavior, differential flatness-based control has been applied mainly in nonlinear systems where the number of variables to the outputs is reduced with a robust control system established through inherited parameter reductions and equality constraints due to the system trajectories (x, u) is straightforwardly estimated from flat output trajectories y and their derivatives without any differential equation integration. …”
