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...

A microgrid is composed of distributed power generation systems (DGs), distributed energy storage devices (DSs), and loads. To maintain a specific frequency in the islanded mode as an important requirement, the control of DGs' output and charge action of DSs are used in supply surplus conditions and load-shedding and discharge action of DSs are used in supply shortage conditions. Recently, mult...

The paper considers the calculation of an effective energy schedule in an islanded microgrid. GridLab-D open source simulation tool is used for simulation of microgrid elements. Matlab environment is used to run an optimization solver. The product GridMat is used as an interface tool between Matlab and GridLab-D. An economic scheduling optimization problem for the considered microgrid is formul...

Microgrids comprise low voltage distribution systems with distributed energy resources (DER) and controllable loads which can operate connected to the medium voltage grid or islanded in a controlled coordinated way. This concept aims to move from “connect and forget” philosophy towards an integration of DER. Microgrids are expected to provide environmental and economic benefits for endcustomers...

This paper presents a new intelligent control strategy for DC microgrid in islanded operation mode based on droop control method. The DC microgrid under study included a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG), photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage system (BESS) and a linear resistive load. According to the proposed method, each of distributed generation (DG) sources and BESS can be deployed independe...

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...

Voltage stability is a critical feature of an efficiently operating power distribution system such as a DC islanded microgrid. Large-scale autonomous power systems can be defined by heterogeneous elements, uncertainty and changing conditions. This paper proposes a novel scalable decentralised control scheme at the primary level of the typical hierarchical control architecture of DC islanded mic...
