The following paper discussing the control of dc microgrid systems with renewable energy resources:
M. B. Shadmand, R. S. Balog, and H. Abu Rub, “Model Predictive Control of PV Sources in a Smart DC Distribution System: Maximum Power Point Tracking and Droop Control,” IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, vol.29, no.4, pp.913-921, Oct. 2014
In my opinion, distributed control provide robustness, but not efficiency. The hybrid distributed and centralised control combines robustness and efficiency, see an example:
