Abstract
The main advantage of AC microgrid is it has the compatibility with existing ac grid. The book chapter emphasizes on the current controlling strategies of power converters operating in different modes with AC microgrid system simplified structure. The challenging part to meet the defined output parameters for Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) with increased penetration of the same is also jagged with controlling strategies of power converters. DER and ESS are integral part of microgrid and for AC microgrid they require converter interface. Various converter topologies and their control is included. Microgrid requires extensive control strategy to meet with grid requirements and load requirements under verity of conditions. Control strategies of multilevel is used. Control methods related to primary control, secondary and tertiary control is discussed. The crucial parameter for selection of power converters control, selection of L, LC and LCL filters, according to application is included. Moreover, depending on the operating modes i.e. Grid Connection Mode and Stand-Alone Mode the respective control strategies are compared for the better understanding along with requirement of synchronization to estimate several grid parameters to achieve accurate control of the active and reactive power delivered to the grid.
