Voltage Security in AC Microgrids: A Power Flow-Based Approach Considering Droop-Controlled Inverters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of voltage security in microgrids. In general, voltage security is an issue for power systems, where the lack of reactive power is a concern. For microgrids a complexity is imposed, since frequency and voltage level deviations may take place by the operation of droop-controlled inverters. This paper incorporates the load margin calculation into a microgrid structure. For this purpose, a special power flow program is developed in order to consider the effects of the droop– controlled inverters. Simulation results are obtained with the help of an islanded distribution system with only generators coupled by droop-controlled inverters, so the proposed methodology may be tested and discussed.

Voltage Imbalance Compensation for Droop-Controlled Inverters in Islanded Microgrid
In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed for implementation in low-voltage microgrids with balanced/ unbalanced load circumstances. The proposed scheme contains, the power droop controllers, inner voltage and current loops, the virtual impedance loop, the voltage imbalance compensation. The proposed strategy balances the voltage of the single-phase critical loads by compensating the im...
متن کاملBIC based on Modified Droop Control of Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid with PV/Wind/ESS under Variable Generation and Load Conditions
The idea of a microgrid is created by utilizing more diverse ac or dc distributed generation (DG) sources along with an energy storage system (ESS) and loads. The most efficient and reliable selection of ac and dc microgrids is a hybrid ac/dc microgrid. The hybrid microgrid largely overcomes the shortcomings of standalone ac or dc microgrids. A bidirectional interlinking converter (BIC) is util...
