Considering decentralization of the micro-source units and loads in the micro-grid and concentrating on generation types and models of the storage devices,droop controlstrategy is used in controller design for the distributed generation units. The generation units adopting droop control method based on the droop characteristics can facilitate load power sharing when the powers of loads vary, and can also maintain the system frequency when a unit fault occurs and the micro-grid islands. Then, the operation variations of the micro-grid are analyzed when it runs with load changes in islanding mode and runs with the load power of micro-source varied suddenly. The corresponding rules of the active power, voltage and current for each micro-source and the frequency for the micro-grid are obtained. The simulation data results show the correctness and validity of the droop control strategy.

Micro Grid

Coordination of various distributed generation (DG) units is required to meet the growing demand for electricity. Several control strategies have been developed to operate parallel-connected inverters for microgrid load sharing. Among these techniques, due to the lack of essential communication links between parallel-connected inverters to coordinate the DG units within a microgrid, the droop control method has been generally accepted in the scientific community. This paper discusses the microgrid droop controller during islanding using the Henry Gas Solubility Optimization (HGSO). The most important goals of droop control in the islanded mode of operation are the frequency and voltage control of microgrid and proper power sharing between distributed generations. The droop controller has been designed using HGSO to optimally choose PI gains and droop control coefficients in order to obtain a better microgrid output response during islanding. Simulation results indicate that the droop controller using HGSO improves the efficiency of micro-grid power by ensuring that variance in microgrid frequency and voltage regulation and effective power sharing occurs whenever micro-grid island mode or when variation in load occurs.

The micro grid system requires battery for energy storage and power management. In which, the bi-directional DC to DC converter is the key component for maintaining the DC bus voltage and controlling the charge and discharge of the battery with or without grid support. Parallel control of multiple DC to DC converters is a critical technique to enlarge the power capacity. This paper presents two capacity limitation control methods that multiple DC to DC converters can be paralleled with distributed battery banks. The first method is the capacity limitation control with cascaded load current sense needing no control interconnection. The second method is the capacity limitation control with master-slave and cascaded current command limitation. Two methods are presented to solve the limitation of droop control method and active current sharing method respectively, and can be extended without converter number limitation theoretically. Three prototype 240W bidirectional half-bridge DC to DC converters are built and paralleled in this paper. The proposed method is confirmed with some measured results.

This paper presents a new load sharing control between paralleled three-phase inverters in an islanded-microgrid based on the line impedance estimation online by the use of the Kalman filter. We can solve the mismatch of power sharing when the line impedance changes due to the temperature and frequency, significant differences of line parameters and requirements of Plug-and-Play mode of inverters connected to the microgrid. Moreover, the paper also presents a new Droop control method working with the line impedance which is different from the Droop traditional algorithm when the line impedance is assumed pure resistance R or pure inductance X. In the paper, the line impedance estimation for parallel inverters uses the least squares method combined with Kalman filter. In addition, secondary control loops are designed to restore the voltage amplitude and frequency of the microgrid by using a combined nominal value SOGI-PLL with generalized integral block and phase lock loop to exactly monitor the voltage magnitude and frequency phase at common PCC. Control model has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink with three voltage source inverters connected in parallel for different ratios of the power sharing. The simulation results have shown the accuracy of the proposed control method. Therefore, the proposed adaptive droop control method based on line impedance estimation can be an alternative one for load sharing control in islanded microgrids.

In this paper, the effect of the line impedance difference between various inverters on power sharing with the traditional droop control method is fully analyzed. It reveals that the line impedance difference causes a significant reactive power error. An improved droop control method to eliminate the reactive power errors caused by the line impedance errors is proposed. In the proposed method, a voltage compensation determined by the actual reactive power error between the local inverter and the average one is added into the local voltage reference based on the CAN communication. Even when the communication is interrupted, the controller will operate with the last value of the average power, which still outperforms the traditional method. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by simulation and experimental results, which show the proposed method possesses the better power sharing performance and dynamic response.
