An Enhanced Droop Control Scheme for Islanded Microgrids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the line impedance impact on islanded low-voltage microgrids, traditional droop control cannot guarantee the proper power sharing between distributed generation (DG) units. In the meanwhile, droop control would cause voltage and frequency deviation, which will influence the power quality of customers. This paper proposed an enhanced droop control scheme with autonomous frequency restoration control. Reactive power sharing problem is solved by adding a redesigned virtual impedance and voltage compensation loop, which ensures PCC voltage in nominal range. To the problem of frequency deviation, autonomous frequency restoration loop is added. Small signal model of frequency control is established to analyze the stability. In circumstance of frequent load switching, the frequency can properly restore to nominal value, with smooth and stable transient process. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

The conventional real power-frequency and reactive power-voltage droop characteristics are commonly employed to share the electric power among parallel distributed generation (DG) units. Despite some advantages such as easy implementation and no need for communication infrastructure, inaccurate reactive power sharing is one of the main disadvantages of conventional droop control. This paper pre...

This paper contains a control scheme for power sharing in islanded microgrids with invertersourced distributed energy resources that combines robust control and droop control. As the load within the microgrid changes, the inverter-sourced generators share the change in the load; this paper shows that the uncontrolled load sharing among the generators will be arbitrary and methods such as droop ...
