## Abstract (arXiv)

An enhanced microgrid power flow (EMPF) is devised to incorporate hierarchical control effects. The new contributions are threefold: 1) an advanced-hierarchical-control-based Newton approach is established to accurately assess power sharing and voltage regulation effects; 2) a modified Jacobian matrix is derived to incorporate droop control and various secondary control modes; and 3) the secondary adjustment is calculated on top of the droop-control-based power flow results to ensure a robust Newton solution. Case studies validate that EMPF is efficacious and efficient and can serve as a powerful tool for microgrid operation and monitoring, especially for those highly meshed microgrids in urban areas.
