1. An improved battery energy storage system for a hybrid microgrid system, comprising:
a hybrid AC/DC microgrid comprising an AC sub-grid and a DC sub-grid, said AC sub-grid comprising a variable speed wind generator and a diesel generator, and said DC sub-grid comprising an array of photovoltaic solar panels;
a triple function battery energy storage system connected via a bi-directional inverter to the AC sub-grid or the DC sub-grid, the inverter controlled to transfer power between the battery energy storage system to the AC sub-grid or the DC sub-grid by a controller providing switch control signals to the inverter and one or more of said variable speed wind generator, diesel generator, and array of photovoltaic solar panels, said triple function battery energy storage system comprising a dual loop decoupled control system implementing a droop-based control method and a grid-feeding strategy;
wherein said control system is implemented in a Stationary Reference Frame dq system, where d axis corresponds to active power control and q axis corresponds to reactive power control;
wherein the droop-based control method uses P-ω and Q-V droops, where ω is the AC sub-grid voltage, V is the AC sub-grid frequency, P is active power, and Q is reactive power;

wherein said control system is adapted to control the inverter output to track the droop adjusted active and reactive power references in order to maintain transient stability during any fault condition in the hybrid AC/DC microgrid and during a change in load in the hybrid AC/DC microgrid;
wherein said control system is adapted to reduce frequency fluctuations and power fluctuations in the hybrid AC/DC microgrid during a change in wind speed or solar irradiance by setting the active power reference value, P*, equal to a power balance mismatch calculated by subtracting a total amount of power supplied to the hybrid AC/DC microgrid from a total load power drawn from the hybrid AC/DC microgrid, and setting the reactive power reference value, Q*, equal to zero, to thereby control the battery energy storage system inverter to absorb or inject the amount of power balance mismatch between load and generation; and
