Abstract

AC–DC hybrid microgrid consists of a variety of energy resources, different types of loads and storage devices, and involves the interconnection between AC and DC power grids. This leads to increased complexity in system design and coordination control, which needs to take into account the interactions and coordination between individual components. Considering the demand response, the power coordination control method of AC/DC hybrid microgrid is studied, which can effectively adjust the power of microgrid in different operation modes and ensure its smooth operation. Combined with the topology of AC/DC hybrid microgrid and its bidirectional converter, the constraints such as AC-side load demand response and AC/DC-side power balance are set on the premise of considering demand response. Under such constraints, the microgrid is divided into two modes: sub-network independent operation and inter-network power exchange. Corresponding control sections are designed for the two modes. On the premise of the set constraints, the microgrid power in each mode is coordinated by coordinating the control methods of the converters. The results show that this method can respond to several mode switches of AC/DC hybrid microgrid in time and effectively coordinate and control the power during the switching process under the constraint conditions such as load demand response. In addition, in the single mode of inter-network power exchange, this method can also quickly respond to the load demand, effectively adjust the exchange power between AC and DC subnets of microgrid, realize the reasonable distribution of power, and make the hybrid microgrid run stably in different modes. During the 8 s to 10 s phase of the experiment, the load power of the DC subnetwork of the experimental microgrid did not change, while the load power of the AC subnetwork increased to 36 kW, the reference power and converter power remained unchanged, and the microgrid voltage remained stable.
