This paper presents the application of an online stability monitoring technique (MT) for droop controlled power converters in DC microgrids. This method is based on Middlebrook's loop-gain measurement technique, adapted to digitally controlled switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). In particular, the MT is used to evaluate the stability margin in control loops of droop-controlled distributed energy...
The diffusion of distributed energy resources (DERs) is continuously increasing and changing the structure of medium and low voltage (MV and LV) distribution networks. In this scenario the concern and the probability of unintentional islanding operations have increased due to the recently updated international standard for generator connection, which in particular require wider voltage and frequency...
The ever growing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), involving both conventional and renewable technologies, is changing the power system face. International Standards are being revised for including new requirements for DERs such as wider voltage amplitude and frequency protection thresholds and new local P=f and Q=V power regulation. This scenario has led to an increasing concern...
This paper discusses the self-tuning capabilities of an analog current-mode controller for switch-mode power supplies. The proposed tuning techniques are based on the insertion of nonlinear (NL) blocks in the analog control loop and the generation of a controlled oscillation on the output voltage, in order to measure the closed-loop properties like gain margin, phase margin, and crossover frequency...
