The microgrid in grid-connected mode should operate in constant P–Q mode. Thus the inverter is operated in constant current control mode using d–q-axis-based current control. Consider the inverter model as shown in figure 1b along with the filter. The inverter equations in the abc-domain are as follows: where i.

Abstract: One of the main features of Microgrids is the ability to operate in both grid-connected mode and islanding mode. In each mode of operation, distributed energy resources (DERs) can be operated under grid-forming or grid-following control strategies.
This paper focusses on modifying the VBD control strategy to enable a smooth transition between the islanded and the grid-connected mode of the microgrid. The VBD control can operate in both modes. Therefore, for islanding, no specific measures are required.
This paper presents a control strategy for grid connected as well as islanding modes of operation in a MG supplied by photovoltaic (PV) and DFIG hybrid. The proposed control technique is designed such that, it can be operated in grid connected mode,

Some authors claim that switching DERs control topologies, depending on the grid-connected or islanded mode of the MG, has the challenges of achieving a smooth transition of control and a rapid change of control objectives, which requires rapid detection of islanding.
This thesis focuses on improving the behavior of inverters during transition periods from islanded mode to grid-connected mode (GC) and vice-versa. A systematic approach is presented to add smart features to inverters to enhance their capability to cope with sudden changes in the power system.

In grid-connected mode, MG inverters typically operate under a current source control strategy, whereas in islanding mode MG inverters operate under a voltage source control approach. Smooth transfer between the grid-connected mode and the islanding mode is one of the main challenges of MG activity.

The transition between grid-connected and islanded mode in a VSI-fed system is carried out in a systematic manner as detailed in this paper. During grid-connected mode, the inverters are modelled as sources supplying constant real and reactive power (P– Q) using d–q axis current control.
The control schemes for grid-connected and islanded modes in a VSI-fed system are explained in the subsequent sections. During grid-connected mode, the microgrid should operate in constant P–Q mode, and the inverter is operated in constant voltage, constant reactive power (V-Vr) control. (2.1 Control scheme during grid-connected mode)
In a grid-connected microgrid, the sources are controlled to provide constant real and reactive power injection. In contrast, during islanded mode, the sources are controlled to provide constant voltage and frequency operation. Special control schemes are needed to ensure smooth transition between these modes.
This paper investigates the operation of microgrid during transition from grid-connected to island mode and vice versa with inverter-based DG sources. A systematic approach for designing the grid connected and island mode controllers is described. Contributions of the paper are the following:
In grid-connected mode, MG inverters typically operate under a current source control strategy, whereas in islanding mode MG inverters operate under a voltage source control approach. Smooth transfer between the grid-connected mode and the islanding mode is one of the main challenges of MG activity.
Sometimes the islanded mode controls may become more complex than grid-connected mode controls. The control, protection and stability issues, being much different from those of the conventional power system, open up new prospects of research in this field.
