In this paper, a method for the parallel operation of inverters in an autonomous microgrid system is adopted. This paper presents the resistive output impedance control scheme that allows multiple voltage source converters (VSCs) to operate in parallel in a VSC fed microgrid. The control loops are taking into account the special nature of a low-voltage microgrid, in which the line impedance is mainly resistive. In contrast with the conventional droop-control method, the proposed controller uses a virtual resistance without communication signals to achieve good power sharing, which is insensitive to line-impedance unbalances.
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.
