- Dynamic interaction between converters in microgrids needs to be managed especially when seamless transfer between grid-connected mode and standalone mode is required. The paper proposes a practical and cost effective (software-based) solution that captures and dampens any potential interaction and hence improves system reliability against sudden grid faults. The solution was adopted by HiT Power Ltd (trevor.rainbow@hitpwer.co.uk). It enables the company to deploy multiple inverters in parallel and hence increases its offering. The first system will be deployed in Nepal in autumn 2021. The work led to a £290k RAEng project, deploying microgrids in South Africa (FF\1920\1\70).
