چکیده

Two model-based fault-tolerant control design strategies are presented for a Diesel Engine Generator (DEG) working as a master generation unit in an islanded microgrid consisting of a hybrid wind-diesel-photovoltaic power system with a Battery Storage System (BSS). A Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme and a Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) scheme have been selected for precise and stable voltage and frequency regulation in the DEG. A Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) module is added to the MPC structure, in order to reconfigure the control strategy when actuator faults in the DEG are present. MRAC is used in combination with a PID controller tuned by a Genetic Algorithm (GA). Improved performance over a baseline controller, IEEE type 1 Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), is achieved in a developed realistic simulation environment based on Matlab/Simulink.

Integrated Fault-detection and Control of DC Microgrids Using SDRE Observer-controller

In this paper, using the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique, a suboptimal fault-tolerant control scheme is designed for a DC microgrid in the islanded mode. The objectives are the voltages control of the photo-voltaic cell, the battery, the capacitor bank, and the DC bus as well as on time fault detection. In the design procedure of the SDRE observer-controller, a nonlinear mathe...

A New Control Strategy for Voltage Restoration and Voltage Unbalance Compensation in an Islanded Droop-Controlled Microgrid

Low voltage microgrids including sensitive loads often face unbalanced load conditions. Therefore, a compensation procedure should be carried out in order to balance and restore sensitive load’s voltage. In this paper, an effective voltage control strategy has been proposed for the autonomous operation of microgrids, under unbalanced load conditions.  The proposed strategy balances single-phase...

Frequency Control of an Islanded Microgrid based on Intelligent Control of Demand Response using Fuzzy Logic and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm

Due to the increasing penetration of renewable energies in the power system, the frequency control problem has attracted more attention, while the traditional control methods are not capable of regulating the frequency and securing the stability of the system. In smart grids, demand response as the frequency control tool reduces the dependence on spinning reserve and high cost controllers. In a...

Designing a new robust control for virtual inertia control in the microgrid with regard to virtual damping

Background and Objectives: Virtual inertia control, as a component of a virtual synchronous generator, is used for the implementation of synchronous generator behaviour in microgrids. In microgrids that include high-capacity distributed generation resources, in addition to virtual inertia, virtual damping can also lead to improvement of frequency stability of the microgrid. The purpose of the c...

Microsoft Word - Microgrid Optimal Scheduling with Multi-Period Islanding Constraints - Final

This paper presents a model for microgrid optimal scheduling considering multi-period islanding constraints. The objective of the problem is to minimize the microgrid total operation cost which comprises the generation cost of local resources and cost of energy purchase from the main grid. The microgrid optimal scheduling problem is decomposed into a gridconnected operation master problem and a...
