Traditionally, conventional generation unit was used to provide ancillary services e.g. reactive power support, and spinning reserve. Nonetheless, with the emergence of highly penetrated distributed energy resources (DERs) systems and considering how beneficial they can be; it appears reasonable to use them as reactive power providers. Therefore, this paper introduces a new procedure for DERs t...

This paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. Balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. The voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. Limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...

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 ...

To avoid potential privacy threats and associated cyber-security issues in microgrids, this letter presents a distributed active power sharing frequency regulation method with preserved of local information. In the proposed approach, transmitted data including outputs capacities are protected by adding noise to original ones. Theoretical analysis verification studies performed illustrate advant...

With Denmark dedicated to maintaining its leading position in the integration of massive shares wind energy, construction new offshore energy islands has been recently approved by Danish government. These will be zero-inertia systems, meaning that no synchronous generation installed island and power imbalances shared only among converters. To this end, paper proposes a methodology calculate upd...
