Modeling and coordination control of AC/DC hybrid microgrids by Zhang, Zhe

“…With a standard hardware configuration, inertia is delivered to both AC and DC subgrids via a bidirectional interlinking converter (BIC). Specifically, the difference in per-unit DC bus voltage and AC frequency is controlled through a proportional-integral (PI) controller, forming the active power reference of the interlinking converter. …”
