By intensifying renewable energy sources integration to the power grid and forming the microgrids (MGs) concept, many studies have been done to investigate MGs operation, control, protection, and etc. The performance of loads can play a major role in the MG behavior. Different load models can be implemented in MGs. The voltage and frequency (VF) dependent load is a substantial load model which few...
The droop control technology, which can achieve an autonomous power sharing among distributed resources interface converters, provides the advantages of enhanced system reliability and reduced complexity. However, the reactive power sharing accuracy of the conventional Q — V droop method can be degraded due to its dependence on the line impedances. The Q — V droop control method was proposed to reduce...
This paper proposes an improved droop control algorithm to ensure the proportional load distribution among multiple parallel inverter-sourced generators in a microgrid, operating in an islanded mode. The improvement is done by including derivative term in the conventional droop control scheme so that the oscillatory modes of the controller can be damped and better dynamic performance is achieved....
Increase proliferation of microgrid (MG) technologies with extended use of renewable energy sources (RES) can affect the system stability performance since dynamic characteristics of this kind of MG are different from conventional generation. Sharing certain portion of or entire generated power from synchronous generator with MG results in decrease of total system inertia. On the other hand, connecting...
This paper proposes a droop control algorithm to distribute load changes automatically between two inverter-sourced generators in an islanded microgrid. A compensating approach is added to the conventional droop control scheme in order to add a power offset to the active power so that the output powers of the inverters remain balanced if the output of renewable energy varies. The droop control parameters...
This paper presents a sensitivity analysis study performed on an information-embedded power electronic converter system with the goal of determining the effects of network delay on its dynamics. This work is motivated by the need for enhanced monitoring schemes that can provide useful information to the power system operator that will aid in anticipating instabilities and preventing cascade failures...
In the microgrid applications, the converters come in all sizes and from different manufacturers, thus their closed-loop dynamics and AC side output filters are not going to be the same. The dispersed locations of these converters also lead to unequal power line impedances seen from the converters. These system parameters asymmetry affects the autonomous load sharing operations both in the steady...
This paper addresses the low-frequency relative stability problem of the grid-connected voltage source inverter (VSI) based distributed generation (DG) unit in microgrid, in which the conventional active power-frequency (P-ω) and reactive power-voltage (Q-E) droop controllers are commonly used to share the loads. In the sense of the characteristic equation and eigenvalues, the relative stability and...
