Abstract– In this study, the smooth switching of the control strategy of the micro grid inverter is premeditated to improve the stability of the grid operation. Virtual synchronous generator control and constant power control are combined to form a dual-mode parallel inverter. . grading testing systems in scenarios involving multiple parallel converters, this paper pro-poses a hybrid dual-mode control strategy combining grid-following and grid-forming modes to ensure stable operation of the microgrid system. The switching process, however, may introduce. . rid-connected and islanded mode. The. . With the photovoltaic (PV) penetration rate increasing in PV-storage-based DC microgrids, the conventional PV control-ler with only the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control function can hardly meet the needs of the coordinated operation.
