Distributed Uniform Control for Parallel Bidirectional Interlinking Converters for Resilient Operation of Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid.

This paper proposed a distributed uniform controlstrategy for parallel bidirectional interlinking converters(BICs) to realize resilient operation of hybrid ac/dc microgrid (HMG). The proposed control strategy can coordinate the control objectives of BICs in different HMG operation modes with a uniform control structure, thus, to eliminate any mode transition detections. In normal condition, the power coordination between ac and dc subgrids can be achieved, while ac or dc voltage regulation can be maintained when main voltage source(MVS) fails in ac or dc subgrid. The coordination between parallel BICs relies on low-bandwidth neighbourhood communication. With the communication planned, accurate power sharing can be achieved. Communication fault ride-through capability is enabled with less power sharing accuracy. The system reliability and resilience of HMG under various fault conditions can be improved by the proposed control strategy. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy, the controller hardware-in-the-loop experiment results have been provide in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
