The chapter proposes a generalized control algorithm that can reject the disturbances associated with microgrid transition operation to facilitate smooth microgrid transition operation. Firstly, the literature review of the state-of-the-art gives a deep analysis of the disturbances associated with microgrid transition operation and it reveals that the same controller should be adopted in the inverter control layer to prevent some harmful transients during transition. Then, a generalized voltage control algorithm in inverter control layer that can achieve smooth transition of microgrid is developed including the formulation of the problem, description of the design methodology and design procedures, and analytical study. The salient feature of the developed generalized voltage control algorithm is that the disturbances associated with microgrid transition are fully cancelled by using inverse dynamic model, and the inverter control layer can be seen as a bypass for the application layer. The practical feasibility of the proposed control algorithm is demonstrated by implementing and testing in a signal level hardwarein-the-loop (HIL) platform.
