Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThis paper addresses power supply stability challenges in remote areas using a photovoltaic-storage DC microgrid system with an improved sliding mode active disturbance rejection control (ISMLADRC) strategy. The proposed control method, along with the hybrid energy storage system, attempts to enhance the microgrid's response speed and adaptability. The content is relevant to advancing renewable energy integration and sustainable practices.
Comments:
The authors could more clearly articulate how the work differs from existing approaches in the literature. Furthermore, the contributions could be more clearly presented.
The paper lacks a discussion of real-world implementation challenges and practical considerations such as cost-effectiveness, maintenance requirements, and scalability for different sizes of agricultural operations.
The authors compare the strategy with two other control strategies. How were these strategies chosen? Another predictive control or fuzzy logic control would give the same results?
The authors could better describe how the control strategies parameters were tuned and how sensitive they are for other MG applications.
The title of Subsections 2.1 and 3.1 could be changed to better describe the content.
In Table 2 the authors inform the frequency of the DC microgrid; this aspect could be clarified to a better understanding.

Reviewer 3 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear authors,
the paper "Solving Power Supply Stability Issues in Remote Agricultural Areas Based on an Improved Sliding Mode Active Disturbance Rejection Control Method" has described a control solution for photovoltaic-storage DC microgrid, especially in off-grid applications. The paper has proposed the ISMLADRC strategy, comparing with traditional PI and LADRC schemes.
Please, address the following issues:
1) line 178 - "and the chattering issue in sliding mode control. To address these ". I recommend dividing the actual paragraph in a new one, starting with the sentence To addresse these challenges ....
2) line 196 - there is a large empty space after "the supercapacitor side,"
3) line 200 - same observation of line 196
4) Equation 1 - Should the last equation not include the contribution of the PV system?
5) Table 2 - values and units should be separated, i.e., 700 V.
6) Table 3 - Solar irradiance should be W/m2
7) To help the reader to implement the proposed ISMLADRC strategy for DC microgrids, the block diagrams of the implemented control used in the simulation described in section 4 should be included in the paper.

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsReviewer appreciates the authors for addressing all the comments.
Crosscheck the following:
- Check revision of content in lines 213 to 219. For exaple, it is mentioned inductor current ON the battery. For current, we always mention 'through' and corresponding currents/ voltages for which component description is missing.
- Line 244, seperate x1, x2 and x3 by commas.
- In line 317, symbol θ2 is not used . Phi is used. Crosscheck.
- Clarification provided for comment 17 can be included in paper for better clarity.
- In Fig.7, flowchart, for textboxes having words detect and calculate commas are missing for variables.
- Add response given for Comment 21 in Paper for better understanding to all readers.
- Line 486, 'L' is missing in ISMADRC.
- In abbreviations listed, for the first one 'Linear' word is missing.
Reviewer appreciates all authors for their hardwork and at the same time, regrets the way authors have addressed reviewer with the following comments for responses 14, 15 and 17 as I am always available for further clarification, I would be happy to provide more detailed information, Contact me which is not appreciable as all authors should address the comments and above 3 responses indicate they are copied and pasted from AI sources. This is strongly discouraged.
Anyhow, the topic addressed is of utmost priority based on importance of agriculture sector and authors are expected to emphasize in conclusion on specific contribution of their proposed controllers in terms of practical relevance and it is the key concept of the entire work.
