The penetration of Distributed Generators connected to the electric grid requires today new control strategies in order to participate in local ancillary services. This paper presents a control strategy for a Front-End Converter enhancing not only these new requirements but also the intentional islanding for a portion of the public medium voltage distribution grid. The simulation of the proposed control shows that a proper coordination with the Distribution System Operator can guarantee the needed continuity of service of a portion of the MV grid even during emergency mode operations
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
