contents This paper considers the control of AC-AC inter-linking converters (ILCs) in a multi-grid network. We overview the control schemes in the literature and propose a passivity framework for the stabilization of multi-grid networks, considering both AC grid-following and AC grid-forming behavior for the ILC connections. We then analyze a range of AC/AC interlinking converter control methods derived from the literature and propose suitable controllers for this purpose including both AC grid-forming and grid-following behavior. The controller we propose is partially grid-forming; in particular, it is based on a combination of a grid-following and a grid-forming converter to improve the stability properties of the network. Simulation results and theoretical analysis confirm that the proposed ILC control designs are appropriate for the multi-grid network.
