Abstract—This paper proposes an optimal, grid-aware control framework for the islanding, island-operation and resynchronisation of hybrid AC/DC microgrids. Microgrids provide several new opportunities, one of which is the ability to deliver electricity continuously, even in the event of a grid failure.
