In this advanced power system scenario, the bipolar hybrid microgrid application plays a vital role, which owns both DC and AC bus instantaneously. In this grid-connected technology, renewable energy performs a major role in the generation of power demand. Due to the alternating nature of renewable sources, the grid should have stability with different energy sources like battery storage systems, vehicle to grid, etc. Hence, to retain the quality of power supply it is more significant to consider an interlinking bidirectional converter between a source and the grid. The most important indispensable component in the bidirectional link is an AC/DC bidirectional converter. This paper elaborates about the advantages and disadvantages of the prevailing AC/DC bidirectional converter topologies for the advancement in the microgrid applications. These types of three-phase ac/dc bidirectional converters are preferred to reduce the THD content in the grid side, power factor correction, and regulated dc output voltage with unidirectional and bidirectional power flow. The dc-link voltage has balanced at the dc bus with these bidirectional topologies. By use of this bidirectional converter, it has designed to perform various essential applications in the microgrid with the help of space vector modulation. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
