Droop control technique for equal power sharing in islanded microgrid

Abstract

This paper presents a droop control technique for equal power sharing in islanded microgrid. In this study, the proposed controller is based on the frequency droop method, is applied to a robust droop controller in parallel connected inverters. The previous robust droop controller deals with voltage droop method. A modification has been formed against this controller by adding a fuzzy logic controller with the frequency droop method. The only sharing error which is concentrated in this paper is the error in sharing the rated frequency among the inverters. By adapting fuzzy in the robust droop, it tries to eliminate the frequency error, hence that the frequency reference of the inverters keeps maintain at 50Hz. A derivation of generalized models of a single-phase parallel-connected inverter system is shown. The simulation results show that the proposed controller with FLC is able to improve the stability of frequency reference and the performance of power sharing between the inverters under the inductive line impedance.

Universal Passive Synchronization Method for Grid-Forming Inverters Without Mode Transition

“…As mentioned, the method can be readily applied to any type of GFMs. In this study, three representative GFM methods are discussed: droop [17], [18], virtual synchronous machine [19], and dispatchable virtual oscillator control [15]. In case of droop, the voltage scaling can be integrated in the voltage droop, as illustrated in Fig.…”

Demand side management in a microgrid to reduce the peak consumption cost

“…But to meet the peak demand, more energy is required. So larger installation of the solar panel is required which will lead to high expenses and there is a waste of energy when the demand is less [11], [12]. To avoid the above and make smooth coordination between generation and consumption we have implemented DSM.…”

Providing a control method of BTB-VSC Converters under unbalanced faults

“…Both AC and DC power are transferable. The drop control scheme is generally used in parallel with several inverters [32] in which the voltage and frequency of each inverter are adjusted to control the active and reactive power. A review of previous studies shows that most research is designed to study control strategies for single MGs.…”
