The substantial potential for the integration of renewable energy into distribution power systems, through the use of power electronics converters, might result in instability due to a lack of inertia. For this reason, this paper introduces the benefit of a virtual synchronous machine (VSM) control algorithm that emulates the properties of traditional synchronous machines in the hybrid microgrid. This paper presents a novel control of the interlinking converter based VSM with an autonomous power sharing capability. The most significant factor investigated in the work presented in this paper is the power exchange from the AC into DC microgrid, and vice versa. The test system used in this study, which was simulated in a PSCAD/EMTDC environment, consisted of simulated voltage source converters based on an average model. The results indicate a significant outcome of the system performance that can achieve the benefit of considering VSM control algorithm in the interlinking converter in Hybrid microgrid.
