A Novel Frequency and Voltage Control Method for Islanded Microgrid Based on Multienergy Storages

Xisheng Tang, Xiao Hu, Ningning Li, Wei Deng, more

IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid > 2016 > 7 > 1 > 410 - 419

A microgrid (MG) can operate in both grid-tied and autonomous mode. Without the support from the public utility, the control of an autonomous MG is more complex due to its poor system inertia. Though energy storage system (ESS) can act as a main power source to maintain system frequency and voltage stability, traditional droop control is usually invalid in practice due to the resistive line of low/medium...
