This work introduces a bilinear formulation for microgrid operation control that finds optimal power setpoints and droop gains on timescale of minutes by solving a finite horizon optimization problem. . In this context, the microgrid concept is a promising approach, which is based on a segmentation of the grid into independent smaller cells that can run either in grid-connected or standalone mode. Within this microgrid, precise control and balanced regulation of the battery's state of charge (SOC) play a crucial role in ensuring system stability and. . rarchical control of three phase parallel Voltage Source Inverters are developed in this paper. The control schem is based on syn-chronous reference frame and consists of primary and secondary control l vels.
