Research on Adaptive Bidirectional Droop Control Strategy for Hybrid AC-DC Microgrid in Islanding Mode

The interlinking converter, an important device in a hybrid AC-DC microgrid, undertakes the task of power distribution between the AC sub-microgrid and DC sub-microgrid. To address the limitations of traditional bidirectional droop control in islanding mode, particularly the lack of consideration for regulation priority between AC frequency and DC voltage, this paper proposes an adaptive bidirectional droop control strategy. By introducing an adaptive weight coefficient based on normalized AC frequency and DC voltage, the strategy prioritizes regulating larger deviations in AC frequency or DC voltage. Interlinking converter action thresholds are set to avoid unnecessary frequent starts and stops. Finally, a hybrid AC-DC microgrid system in islanding mode is established in the Matlab/Simulink R2020a simulation platform to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
