The frequency regulation has become one of the major subjects in microgrid power system due to the complexity structure of microgrid. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved linear active disturbance rejection control algorithm (ILADRC) that can significantly improve system performances through changing feedback control law to reduce the disturbance estimation error of e...

This work aims to enhance the ability of a direct current (DC) microgrid to guarantee the power supply without interruptions by considering the dynamic efficiency of each power converter in the power balance. Previous works show that the converter efficiency varies according to the instant power. If the variable efficiency of the converters in the microgrid is not considered, some extra power m...

In order to ensure proper operation of the smart grid, it is important that its constituent parts operate satisfacto...

In order to validate the different functions of a low voltage microgrid, a specific test configuration has been set up in the Design Centre for Modular Systems Technology (“DeMoTec”) of the Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik (ISET). In this highly innovative microgrid configuration, the grid control is distributed among three distant inverters which are not linked by any fast communi...

In an islanded microgrid, while considering the complex nature of line impedance, the generalized droop control fails to share the actual real/reactive power between the distributed generation (DG) units. To overcome this power sharing issue, in this paper a new approach based on feed forward neural network (FFNN) is proposed. Also, the proposed FFNN based droop control method simultaneously co...

microgrid presents an efficient and novel solution for integrating many new energy generating resources with traditional distribution networks. having an appropriate protective scheme is a fundamental challenge in achieving microgrid plans. it is proven that traditional protective plans are not efficient for protecting microgrid, since the network is dynamic and the level of fault current chang...
