The penetration of Distributed Generators connected to the electric grid requires today new control strategies in order to participate in local ancillary services. This paper presents a control strategy for a Front-End Converter enhancing not only these new requirements but also the intentional islanding for a portion of the public medium voltage distribution grid. The simulation of the proposed control shows that a proper coordination with the Distribution System Operator can guarantee the needed continuity of service of a portion of the MV grid even during emergency mode operations.
