Grid-isolated hybrid microgrid applications require special considerations due to the intermittent generation, online energy storage control, and pulsed loads. In this study, we
For medium to large-scale micro-grid, AC coupling is commonly used to minimise losses in power transmission . Fig. 12a illustrates a typical AC coupled micro-grid architecture. For greater flexibility, hybrid AC–DC micro

Power electronic converters (PEC) connect the DC microgrid to grid utility as depicted in Fig. 1. with several voltage levels and energy storage devices on the DC side that control demand variation, a DC microgrid can deliver power to DC and AC loads . Fig. 1. DC microgrid topology.
A DC microgridcan operate as an independent power supply during the AC mains power failure [ 20 ]. Since there are different levels of DC voltage output in renewable energy sources and energy storage systems, power electronic converters are needed to integrate all DERs within the microgrid.
The use of power electronics circuits in DC microgrids enables the ability to use stored energy and even bus capacity to relieve system transitions [ 19 ]. The components of a grid-connected DC microgrid are renewable energy systems (PV, wind, fuel cell), load and storage elements.
Inverters used in DC microgrids provide sufficient power quality conditions for AC loads.DC microgrids requiring fewer inverters than AC microgrids, increase the efficiency of the system as they will have less conversion losses [ 16, 17 ].
In AC microgrid systems, generation systems and loads are connected to an AC busvia power electronics converters according to the type of electrical energy they generate or consume (Fig. 6.2 ). Storage systems are also connected using AC bus, such as DC loads, that can be adapted to their electrical energy form.
It is seen from the above figures; the power electronic converters are the most important part of the microgrid systems. Therefore, the development of power electronic circuits and control methods has further enhanced the applicability of microgrids.
