The objective of this paper is to present novel control strategies for MicroGrid operation, especially in islanded mode. The control strategies involve mainly the coordination of secondary load-frequency control by a MicroGrid Central Controller that heads a hierarchical control system able to assure stable and secure operation when the islanding of the MicroGrid occurs and in load-following si...

The issue of frequency stability of microgrids under islanded operation mode and mode transfer has attracted particular attention recently. In this paper, a cooperative frequency control method, which consists of a microgrid central control (MGCC) and microgrid local control (MGLC), is proposed to achieve a seamless transfer from grid-connected to islanded mode, and hence increase the frequency...

As usual, the microgrid operates in grid-connect mode, but, when a fault occurs in the upstream grid, it should disconnect and shift into islanded operation mode. In grid-connect mode, the controlling power at the PCC is necessary management function rather than the frequency and voltage. However, the controlling the frequency and voltage is asked in islanded mode. To achieve these management g...

The aim of this project is to develop a dynamic model of a converter fed Microgrid operated in Islanded DER Control Mode to regulate its voltage and frequency in the islanded mode of operation. Controllers like PI, FUZZY, FUZZY-PI to be implemented to fine which is best controller for the developed control scheme. The microgrid has two operating modes: the grid-connected mode and the islanded m...

This paper, proposes a control system for use with microgrid consist of multiple small scale embedded generation networks (SSEG networks) connected to the 33kV distribution network. The proposed controller controls power flow in the gridconnected mode of operation, enables voltage and frequency control when the SSEG networks are islanded, and resynchronizes the SSEG networks with the utility be...

The growing interest in sharing the renewable-energy resources in power microgrids presents major challenge from the perspective of reliable operation and control of the power systems. The issue of the microgrids autonomous control has received a considerable attention in the last decade. As the architecture of the power system control, a hierarchical control scheme can be implemented for the i...

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...

This paper analyses the performance of a lowvoltage microgrid, based on microturbines, and presents new control algorithms to improve the efficiency and reliability of microgrids. Due to the importance of islanding and focusing on the efficiency and the harness of the heat of the exhaust gasses in islanded operation mode, a new control algorithm has been developed. Additionally, a new control s...

This paper proposes the grid synchronization method of inverter using a quasi Proportional+Multi Resonant (P+MR) control-based voltage controller a stationary reference frame. The inverter supplies a non-linear load under the islanded mode. In islanded mode, the inverter is defined as a voltage source to supply the full local load demand without a connection to the grid. On the other hand, if t...
