Islanded DC microgrids face challenges in voltage stability and communication overhead due to renewable energy variability. A novel enhanced distributed coordinated control framework, based on adaptive event-triggered mechanisms, is developed for the efficient management of multiple hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) in islanded DC microgrids (MGs). We propose a hierarchical distributed control framework integrating ANN-based controllers and adaptive event-triggered mechanisms to dynamically regulate power flow and minimise communication. This system utilises a hierarchical coordinated control method (HCCM) with primary virtual resistance droop control integrated with state-of-charge (SoC) management and secondary control for voltage regulation and proportional current distribution through optimised communication networks. The integration of artificial neural network (ANN)-based controllers alongside traditional PI control leads to an improvement in system responsiveness. The control approach dynamically adjusts the trigger parameters to minimise communication overhead with tight voltage regulation. An extensive simulation using MATLAB/Simulink shows how the system can effectively manage variability in renewable energy sources and maintain stable voltage profiles with precise power distribution and minimal bus voltage fluctuations. Simulations confirm enhanced voltage regulation (±0.5% deviation), proportional current sharing (98% accuracy), and 60% communication reduction under load transients (outcomes).
