heal.abstract	The paper presents experimental results from the operation of a prototype Microgrid system, installed in the National Technical University of Athens, which comprises a PV generator, battery energy storage, local load and a controlled interconnection to the LV grid. Both the battery unit and the PV generator are connected to the AC grid via fast-acting DC/AC power converters. The converters are suitably controlled to permit the operation of the system either interconnected to the LV network, or in stand-alone (island) mode, with a seamless transfer from the one mode to the other. The paper provides a technical description of the system components and the control concept implemented, along with extensive measurement results which demonstrate its capability to operate in the aforementioned way.	en
