How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This work introduces and describes the use of the parallel-connected Γ-Z-source power converters (ΓZSPCs) as a new interconnection method for the hybrid microgrids (HMGs) to enhance the reliability and the amount of power exchange between the AC and DC sub-grids. Then an adaptive gain-regulating-based (AGR) control strategy is proposed for the ΓZSPCs. To this end, the instantaneous average current sharing (IACS) strategy is adopted wherein the current controllers use the AGR. The simulation of the proposed interlink topology and the control scheme resulted in the improvement of the power exchange within the HMG and the reduced energy loss.
