In the last several years, the coordination control of hybrid AC/DC microgrids (HMGs) has been gaining increasingly more attention. However, most of these discussions are focused on single-bus HMGs whose AC or DC bus is not sectionalized by AC or DC breakers. Compared with these single-bus HMGs, the bus-sectionalized HMG has more flexible topologies, more diverse operation modes, and consequently higher service reliability. However, meanwhile, these benefits also bring challenges to the stable operation of bus-sectionalized HMGs, particularly for mode switching. Relying on the national HMG demonstrative project in Shaoxing, China, this paper makes efforts to present the hierarchical control paradigm of a typical bus-sectionalized HMG toward standardization. The test results demonstrate that the proposed system provides seamless switching and uninterrupted power supply without controller reconfiguration among different operation modes. The operational data are also brought forth and analyzed to provide significant and useful experiences for designing and developing similar HMGs in the future.

The monitoring and control of renewable energy sources (RESs) based on DC (Direct Current) microgrids (DC MG) are gaining much consideration at this time. In comparison with the isolated individual control of converters in a microgrid, DC microgrids provide better voltage regulation and harmonized energy generation/consumption. To address the inherent vulnerability of communication links, robust methods have been proposed that improve the resilience of communication-based control. However, the failure of the communication links in microgrid control layers remains a considerable issue that may lead to one or more nodes being disconnected and operating as a communication island. Such types of communication islanding may cause the unpredictable behavior of the system and further destabilization may lead to a cascaded failure. This paper proposes a fast algorithm to detect and evaluate network connectivity based on the information stored at every node in the form of a look-up table. The control structure has been modified under communication islanding, and a communication connectivity observer is used at every node to detect and address power flow issues under communication islanding. The proposed method has been verified through mathematical analysis, simulation, and experimental results.
