Fuzzy Mathematics-Based Outer-Loop Control Method for Converter-Connected Distributed Generation and Storage Devices in Micro-Grids
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors proposed a fuzzy-based outer-loop control and validate it to avoid using the micro-grid’s detailed mathematical model and the converter itself. I cannot not find a significant trace of why the authors employed fuzzy concept while we cannot find the superiority in comparison with the deterministic cases at least from the provided results? It is important that the author demonstrate the effectiveness of using fuzzy concept based on provided data while the data base is poor and not enough. Also, a fair comparison with other established works has been missed.Author Response

Reviewer 2 Report
The current paper proposes a multivalued logic-based strategy to avoid using simplified micro-grid models. Simulation results validate the proposed control strategy’s proper functioning, demonstrating its capabilities for real field applications
