Hi-tech scenario and the ecological compression are the key point to drive the intervention of the renewable in the distribution system. In the perspective of complex power system planners, the transient performance of the microgrid is the main concern. For that purpose, various fault cases are explored in order to examine the microgrid transient performance when subjected to accidental events....

Conventional droop control is a basic control strategy for power sharing in islanded microgrid applications. This strategy has several limitations, such as low transient response, frequency and voltage deviations. This paper presents a modified droop control method for the proper operation of parallel-connected inverters in islanded microgrid. The proposed method is able to improve transient re...

Storage devices are introduced in microgrids in order to secure their power quality, power regularity and offer ancillary services in a transient period. In the transition period of a low voltage microgrid, from the connected mode of operation to the islanded mode of operation, the power unbalance can be partly covered by the inertia energy of the existing power sources. This paper proposes fuz...

Inverter voltage control is an important task in the operation of a DC/AC microgrid system. To improve the inverter voltage control dynamics, traditional approaches attempt to measure and feedforward the load current, which, however, needs remote measurement with communications in a microgrid system with distributed loads. In this paper, a load current observer (LCO) based control strategy, whi...

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...

Increasing DC loads along with DC nature of distributed energy resources (DERs) raises interest to DC microgrids. Conventional droop/non-droop power-sharing in microgrids suffers from load dependent voltage deviation, slow transient response, and requires the parameters of the loads, system and DERs connection status. In this paper, a new nonlinear decentralized back-stepping control strategy f...

variation of frequency and voltage by load changes in a microgrid is a challenge in droop control method. centralized restoration frequency or voltage in a microgrid requires communication link and therefore affects the advantage of decentralized droop control such as reliability, simplicity and inexpensiveness. this paper proposes a decentralized method that restores the frequency of a microgr...

Because of their small scale and large share of intermittent power sources, islanded microgrids require additional means of flexibility, such as dedicated storage. For controlling the loads and distributed generation (DG) units in an islanded microgrid, the voltage-based droop (VBD) control has been developed. This controller determines the switching actions of these units’ power electronic int...

In this project a Microgrid consisting of different distributed generation (DG) units are presented. These distributed generation (DG) units are connected to the distribution grid. The distributed energy resources are necessary to saving the energy for future use. Here an Energy-management algorithm is implemented to coordinate the operations of the different DG units in the Microgrid for grid-...

Microgrid is an effective way to integrate the distributed energy resources into the utility networks. One of the most important issues is the power flow control of grid-connected voltage-source inverter in microgrid. In this paper, the small-signal model of the power flow control for the grid-connected inverter is established, from which it can be observed that the conventional power flow cont...
