The active and reactive power sharing of distributed generation sources (DGs) connected to isolated microgrids with a single point of common coupling (mono-PCC) to which the loads are also connected has already been the subject of several studies. A high penetration rate of DGs based on renewable energies has as a logical consequence the development and implementation of mesh and more complex multi- PCC microgrids. In this paper, a developed droop control method for synchronization and power sharing between different DGs connected to a mesh islanded multi-PCC microgrid with many distributed generation sources (DGs) and different type of loads (including active load (CPL)) randomly connected to different PCCs is applied. Then, a state model of the entire mesh microgrid is developed integrating the generators with their controllers, power lines, droop algorithms and dynamic loads. This model is then used to study the asymptotic stability and robustness properties of the system. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the applied strategies for the synchronization of the different DGs to the microgrid while ensuring an efficient active and reactive power sharing. also, they confirm the validity of the developed state space model of the system.

This paper proposes a new control sharing method for parallel three-phase inverters in an islanded microgrid. The proposed technique uses adaptive PIDs combined with the communication among the parallel inverters to accurately share active power and reactive power among the inverters via adjusting the desired voltage if there is a distinct difference between line impedance and the load change in the microgrid. Moreover, the paper also presents the response ability of the inverters to maintain the error within the allowed limits as the transmission line is interrupted. The proposed technique has been verified in a microgrid with three parallel distributed generation-inverter units using Matlab/Simulink. In the simulation, as the droop control using the communication information among the inverters, the sharing errors for active power and reactive power are around 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively. As the connection between the microgrid and transmission line is interrupted, the sharing errors for active power and reactive power increase to 0.4% and 2%, respectively. The simulation results have indicated that the proposed technique is superior to the traditional droop control in terms of the accuracy and stability. Therefore, the new proposed technique can be a favor alternative model for active power and reactive power sharing control of parallel inverters in an islanded microgrid.

This paper presents an improved droop-based control strategy for the active and reactive power-sharing on the large-scale Multi-Terminal High Voltage Direct Current (MT-HVDC) systems. As droop parameters enforce the stability of the DC grid, and allow the MT-HVDC systems to participate in the AC voltage and frequency regulation of the different AC systems interconnected by the DC grids, a communication-free control method to optimally select the droop parameters, consisting of AC voltage-droop, DC voltage-droop, and frequency-droop parameters, is investigated to balance the power in MT-HVDC systems and minimize AC voltage, DC voltage, and frequency deviations. A five-terminal Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC)-HVDC system is modeled and analyzed in EMTDC/PSCAD and MATLAB software. Different scenarios are investigated to check the performance of the proposed droop-based control strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed droop-based control strategy is capable of sharing the active and reactive power, as well as regulating the AC voltage, DC voltage, and frequency of AC/DC grids in case of sudden changes, without the need for communication infrastructure. The simulation results confirm the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed droop-based control strategy.

AbstractThe common droop method is one of the most effective methods for controlling power-sharing in islanded microgrid. Due to the dependence of the active and reactive power on the voltage and frequency in resistor microgrid, the use of this method in controlling the power-sharing in these types of a microgrid to the undesirable performance of active and reactive power-sharing. In this paper, by applying virtual impedance in the local controller of distributed generation resources, this paper has modified the common droop method and improved power-sharing. The proposed virtual impedance has an adjustable resistor section and a fixed reactance section. Simulation of a typical islanded microgrid in PSCAD / EMTDC software shows that the proposed method is capable of improving the active and reactive power sharing in resistive microgrid controlled by the droop method.

To reliably realize the grid-connection generating of brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM), this paper firstly focuses on some essential issues, such as amplitude, frequency and phase of power winding voltage; the control of active and reactive power. Deducing the control method of power winding voltage amplitude, frequency and phase based on basic electrical machine principle. Referring synchronous machine theory, the modulation principle of active and reactive power for BDFM is obtained. Then, the connection progress to grid is researched by setting up the control platform based on DSP. The experimental results show that the amplitude, frequency and phase of power winding voltage are effectively controlled and the active and reactive power could be regulated when adopting the decoupled voltage control strategy. This control method provides a practical realization manner in the application of wind power generation and so on.
