To realise the distributed control of the hybrid energy storage system (HESS) in an islanded AC microgrid, a dynamic HESS power allocation strategy based on the virtual impedance (VI) for supercapacitor (SC) and the battery is proposed. Dynamic power‐sharing of two kinds of energy storage devices can be achieved without real‐time measuring of load power. The state of charge (SOC) recovery of SC is achieved with a SOC loop integrated into the VI loop. The principle of dynamic power‐sharing of HESS is derived based on the establishment of HESS equivalent circuit model. By analysing the influence of the voltage and current double loop controller parameters on the output impedance and the VI of the DC/AC converter, the method of setting the controller parameters for power distribution is presented. A simulation model is established with the designed equivalent power fluctuation conditions. The simulation results show that under various working conditions, the SC loop can compensate for the high‐frequency part of the equivalent power fluctuation and the battery loop absorbs the low‐frequency part of the power fluctuation. The dynamic power‐sharing of HESS with the SC SOC recovery is realised effectively.
