Abstract

The interconnected converter (IC) links the ac and dc microgrids (MGs) and exchanges powers to maintain the hybrid system stability. However, inertia stored in the ac or dc side cannot be transferred through IC to support each other flexibly according to demand. This paper proposes a novel bidirectional virtual inertia (BVI) control strategy for the IC with an inertia transferring mechanism. IC actively transfers the inertial power to balance the transient performance of both sides of the interconnected MGs. The adaptive strategy is proposed for coefficients of the BVI control to change the inertial power flexibly according to the inertia gap caused by disturbances. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy of transferring inertia strikes a transient balance between the dc voltage and ac frequency and hence, enhance the transient stability of the hybrid system.
