description In this paper, a small hydropower microgrid solution with high applicability is proposed to solve the problem of high line failure rate and long maintenance time, which can improve the reliability of distribution network in mountainous areas. In this scheme, small hydropower and local load constitute a low-cost but efficient microgrid operation to improve the reliability of rural electricity. In this scheme, small-sized hydropower and local load constitute microgrid operation. In case of failure, the scheme makes full use of the independent operation of microgrid to provide qualified power quality to local load. This scheme is easy to realize and does not need additional energy storage, so it has good economy. Firstly, the frequency disturbance characteristics of small hydropower microgrid is analyzed, which lays a theoretical foundation for small hydropower microgrid operation. Then it introduces the island operation mode to grid-connected operation mode transition of small hydropower, including the key technologies such as frequency adjustment strategy in island operation stage. Finally, the simulation studies show the effectiveness of the method.
