Energy storage systems play a key role in improving security, stability, and power quality of the microgrid. During grid-connected mode, these storage units are charged from various DG sources as well as the main grid. During islanded mode, DG sources along with the storage units need to supply the load. Power electronic interfaces between the microgrid buses and the storage units should be able to detect the mode of operation, allow seamless transition between the modes, and allow power flow in both directions, while maintaining stability and power quality. An overview of bidirectional converter topologies relevant to microgrid energy storage application and their control strategies will be presented in this paper.展开更多
