Hybrid microgrids which consist of AC and DC subgrids interconnected by power electronic interfaces have attracted much attention in recent years. They not only can integrate the main benefits both configurations, but also reduce number converters connection distributed generation sources, energy storage systems loads to or buses. In this study, structure hybrid is discussed, then a broad overview available protection devices approaches for presented. After description, analysis classification existing schemes, some research directions including communication infrastructures, combined control promising realisation future AC/DC are pointed out.
