In the three-phase four-wire low-voltage micro grid, three-phase imbalance usually happens because of a large number of single-phase loads. In this situation, the traditional control method cannot effectively control the voltage and frequency stability when the low-voltage micro grid operates in the island mode. According to the characteristics of the three-phase four-wire low-voltage micro grid, this paper designs a single-phase independent control based on the droop control. This paper firstly uses the improved droop control considering that the impedance characteristic of the low voltage micro gird is mainly resistance, and also designs single-phase independent control to ensure the control system have the ability to run under the unbalanced loads. Then this paper designs a two-level control strategy to control the voltage and frequency in the micro grid during the island operation. Finally, a simulation analysis based on the proposed method is used to prove the effectiveness. A micro grid is set up on PSCAD, and verifies the effectiveness of the single-phase control strategy based on the improved droop control. The proposed method can also realize the requirement of the voltage and frequency stability during the island operation. At the same time, the control method proposed in this paper can achieve the control objective under the condition of unbalanced three-phase.

Parallel Inverter

For the different operation mode of micro-grid, an improved droop control method and a parallel inverter was proposed depending on the study of micro-grid inverter. Grid-connected interface contains a series inverter and a parallel inverter, and can be switched to select different work mode. The parallel inverter can eliminate harmonic, compensate three-phase imbalanced current to improve the quality of the power delivered to the utility grid. In islanding operation mode, the improved droop control strategy was applied, where an integral controller was introduced. So it can reduce the inverter output voltage amplitude. Thereby it can restrain circulation and realize the power of self-distribution. The effectiveness and feasibility are verified by the simulation result.

Future Challenges

The progressive growing of single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems makes the Distribution System Operators (DSOs) update or revise the existing grid codes in order to guarantee the availability, quality, and reliability of the electrical system. It is expected that the future PV systems connected to the low-voltage grid will be more active with functionalities of low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) and the grid support capability, which is not the case today. In this paper, the operation principle is demonstrated for a single-phase grid-connected PV system in a low-voltage ride-through operation in order to map future challenges. The system is verified by simulations and experiments. Test results show that the proposed power control method is effective and the single-phase PV inverters connected to low-voltage networks are ready to provide grid support and ride-through voltage fault capability with a satisfactory performance based on the grid requirements for three-phase renewable energy systems.

Three-phase imbalance is a long-term issue existing in low-voltage distribution networks (LVDNs), which consequently has an inverse impact on the safe and optimal operation of LVDNs. Recently, the increasing integration of single-phase distributed generations (DGs) and flexible loads has increased the probability of imbalance occurrence in LVDNs. To overcome the above challenges, this paper proposes a novel methodology based on the concept of "Active Asymmetry Energy-Absorbing (AAEA)" utilizing loads with a back-to-back converter, denoted as “AAEA Unit” in this paper. AAEA Units are deployed and coordinated to actively absorb asymmetry power among three phases for imbalance mitigation in LVDNs based on the high-precision, high-accuracy, and real-time distribution-level phasor measurement unit (D-PMU) data acquisition system and the 5th generation mobile networks (5G) communication channels. Furthermore, the control scheme of the proposed method includes three control units. Specifically, the positive-sequence control unit is designed to maintain the voltage of the DC-capacitor of the back-to-back converter. Likewise, the negative-sequence and zero-sequence control units are expected to mitigate the imbalanced current components. A simple imbalanced LVDN is modeled and tested in Simulink/Matlab (MathWorks, US). The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Grid Connected Inverter

An improved control strategy for three-phase grid-connected inverters with space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is proposed. When the grid current contains harmonics, the d-and q-axes grid currents is interacted in the traditional control method, and the waveform quality of the grid current is poor. As the reference output voltage cannot directly reflect the change of the reference grid current with the traditional control strategy, the dynamic response of the grid-connected inverter is slow. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the d-and q-axes grid currents in the decoupled components of the grid current controller are substituted by the d-and q-axes reference grid currents, respectively. The operating principles of the traditional and proposed control methods are illustrated. Experimental results show that the grid-connected inverter with the improved control strategy has high waveform quality of the grid current and fast dynamic response.

Based on the concept of cyber physical system (CPS), a novel hierarchical control strategy for islanded microgrids is proposed in this paper. The control structure consists of physical and cyber layers. It’s used to improve the control effect on the output voltages and frequency by droop control of distributed energy resources (DERs), share the reactive power among DERs more reasonably and solve the problem of circumfluence in microgrids. The specific designs are as follows: to improve the control effect on voltages and frequency of DERs, an event-trigger mechanism is designed in the physical layer. When the trigger conditions in the mechanism aren’t met, only the droop control (i.e., primary control) is used in the controlled system. Otherwise, a virtual leader-following consensus control method is used in the cyber layer to accomplish the secondary control on DERs; to share the reactive power reasonably, a method of double virtual impedance is designed in the physical layer to adjust the output reactive power of DERs; to suppress circumfluence, a method combined with consensus control without leader and sliding mode control (SMC) is used in the cyber layer. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical control strategy is confirmed by simulation results.
