Bibliometric Analysis of Microgrid Control Strategy from 2007 to 2022 Based on CiteSpace

Efficient and reliable control strategy is the key to the stable operation of microgrids. Most studies on microgrid control strategy are from single perspectives, lacking integrated views. Thus, we use CiteSpace to process a multidimensional bibliometric analysis to depict the publication statistics, collaboration dynamics, research status, and development trends; we also construct a panorama knowledge framework and show future research features. We discover that microgrid control strategy is a hot domain with global cooperation. Besides, electrical and electronic engineering is the most distinctive discipline, and droop control is one of the most critical control methods. In addition, future studies may focus on engineering application and sustainability; some ongoing hotspots have generated new trends, such as battery, stability analysis, and renewable energy sources. This research is innovative; we provide comprehensive and integrated knowledge details, show the clear theoretical logical structure, and pinpoint future practical frontiers: the research is objective, quantitative, full-scale, multidimensional, and future-oriented, making up for the shortcomings of previous review studies. The results provide valuable theory and practice references for scholars new and interested in this field.
