An output end of a power converter is connected to a microgrid bus, and the microgrid bus is connected to an external power grid through a grid-tied switch. When detecting that a power grid fails, the power converter is in a first current source control mode. After a duration of the power grid failure reaches a first duration, the power converter switches from the first current source control mode to a first voltage source control mode. The first current source control mode is a current source failure ride-through control mode. The first voltage source control mode is a voltage source failure ride-through control mode. The first duration is less than a second duration, and the second duration is a time interval between a moment at which the power grid fails and a moment at which the grid-tied switch is turned off.

A method is described for determining power grid density on an integrated circuit. The method includes determining an initial placement of power switches, logic circuits, the power grid, and the logic grid. The method creates tiles covering the entire integrated circuit and assigns a power grid density and a logic grid density for each tile. Power losses are simulated for the entire chip and chip timing function is simulated. Based on the simulated power losses and the simulated chip timing, the power grid density and the logic grid density are adjusted on a per tile basis. The assignment of power grid density and logic grid density and simulations are iterated until a cessation condition is met. After the cessation condition is met, a final chip simulation is performed and the final routing is determined.
