Abstract
Aiming to solve the problem of voltage fluctuation of critical load caused by lack of control when an unplanned island occurs in a microgrid, a voltage stabilizing control strategy of critical load based on electric spring is proposed in this paper. When unplanned islanding occurs in a microgrid system, the system bus voltage fluctuates dramatically due to instantaneous power imbalance, compromising the power supply safety of important loads on the bus. In this paper, the electric spring control mode is integrated into the voltage stabilizing control strategy of critical loads in an unplanned island for the first time to realize the protection of critical loads. First of all, a model of an optical storage AC/DC hybrid microgrid is built, the overall system architecture is determined, and the microgrid is divided into four working states. Second, the working principle of electric spring is introduced, and a decoupling control strategy based on double closed loop is proposed. Finally, the experimental simulation of the proposed control strategy is experimentally simulated in Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation findings show that when the bus voltage and current of microgrid change due to an unplanned island, the proposed control strategy based on electric spring may achieve the stability of voltage and current on critical loads.

Summary
The essential components of a microgrid are DG (distributed generation), power exchange devices, load, and protective equipment. A voltage stabilizing control strategy based on electric spring is proposed, which is based on the basic function of electric spring [16,23,24,25,26] to ensure the stable operation of critical loads It is aimed at the fluctuation of critical loads caused by an outof-control state in an unplanned island of a microgrid. The electric spring simulation model and microgrid parallel/off grid switching simulation model were built with MATLAB/Simulink simulation software, and they were integrated to verify that the proposed control strategy based on electric spring can ensure the voltage stability of critical loads when an unplanned island occurs in the microgrid.
