    Abstract: A method for transfer of power between medium voltage, MV, feeders via a MV direct current, MVDC, link in a power distribution network is presented. The method is performed in a controller in the power distribution network and includes setting an iteration step value for each of a set of power reference quantities of the MVDC link, and setting an initial value of each of the set of power reference quantities, iteratively changing values of each of the set of power reference quantities, and selecting one changed value of the set of power reference quantities by: changing a present value of each of the set of power reference quantities, one at a time, with the set iteration step value, respectively, into a new value, and measuring a total active power at a substation of the power distribution network for each of the new value, one at a time, and selecting the new value of the one of the set of power reference quantities that provides the lowest measured total active power at the substation, wherein a next iteration is performed with the selected new value as present value for the one of the set of power reference quantities and with the present value for the other of the set of power reference quantities. A controller for transfer of power between MV feeders via a MVDC link in a power distribution network is also presented.

    Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a distribution system are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an alternating current (AC) distribution system including a first substation including a first transformer and a protective device; a first distribution network portion coupled to the first transformer; a second substation; a second distribution network portion; a DC interconnection system coupled between the first distribution network portion and the second distribution network portion; and a control system. The control system is structured to detect a fault in the first transformer or the transmission network, isolate the first distribution network from the fault, determine a set point of the DC interconnection system, and operate the DC interconnection system using the set point so as to transfer a portion of the MVAC from the second distribution network portion to the first distribution network portion.

    Abstract: A method performed in an electrical microgrid for facilitating connection of a first and second AC power networks. The method includes, when the power networks are disconnected, from the second power network, controlling the AC frequency of the first power network based on the AC frequency of the second power network for ensuring that when the first and second networks are connected power will flow from the power network of the first and second power networks having a higher frequency to the power network of the first and second power networks having a lower frequency. The method also includes, after the controlling, connecting the first power network to the second power network, whereby power, at the instant of connecting, flows from the power network of the first and second power networks having a higher frequency to the power network of the first and second power networks having a lower frequency.
