A Linear Quadratic Regulator With Optimal Reference Tracking for Three-Phase Inverter-Based Islanded Microgrids

Abstract

This work proposes a power sharing control method based on the Linear Quadratic Regulator with optimal reference tracking (LQR-ORT) for three-phase inverter-based generators using LCL filters islanded mode. Compared to SISO-based controllers, the LQR-ORT controller increases robustness margins and reduces the quadratic value of the power error and control inputs during transient response. Supplementary loops are used to reduce frequency and voltage deviations in the AC bus without communications. The supplementary loop for voltage regulation is based on the droop controller by reducing direct and quadrature output voltages according to the active and reactive power demand. A model in a synchronous reference frame that integrates power sharing and voltage-current dynamics is also proposed. In addition, a methodology to develop an islanded microgrid model in a synchronous reference frame is proposed. Robustness analysis demonstrate stability of the LQR-ORT controller under variations in the frequency and the LCL filter components. Experimental results demonstrate accuracy of the proposed model and the effectiveness of the LQR-ORT controller on improving transient response and robustness in islanded mode.

Resonant and a new disturbance-observer combined control for off-grid voltage source inverter

“…The TF in the z-domain of the RSC GRSC(z) is written (6). This TF has been achieved using the Tustin with pre-warping technique [28]- [30].…”

“…AC/DC converters, instead, are mainly used to manage the flow of power generated by micro-turbines and wind turbines. Another very important role is played by the DC/AC converter which is responsible for supplying the load starting from the DC-bus [6]- [9]. DC/AC conversion systems require high performance to ensure highly efficient utilization of DG units [10], [11].…”

Optimized Two-Level Control of Islanded Microgrids to Reduce Fluctuations

“…Then a small signal analyze was done to test the accuracy of the proposed method. Moreover, in [18], an optimal controller coefficient adjustment method based on the small signal system model was proposed for eliminating the effect of small signal disturbances while changing the microgrid operation mode from gridconnected to islanded [19]. In this paper, an optimal distributed control strategy is presented for coordinating multiple distributed generators.…”
