    Control of transient power during unintentional islanding of microgrids

    No full text
    In inverter-based microgrids, the paralleled inverters need to work in grid-connected mode and stand-alone mode and to transfer seamlessly between the two modes. In grid-connected mode, the inverters control the amount of power injected into the grid. In stand-alone mode, however, the inverters control the island voltage while the output power is dictated by the load. This can be achieved using the droop control. Inverters can have different power set-points during grid-connected mode but in stand-alone mode they all need their power set-points to be adjusted according to their power ratings. However, during sudden unintentional islanding (due to loss of mains), transient power can flow from inverters with high power setpoints to inverters with low power set-points, which can raise the DC link voltage of the inverters causing them to shut down. This paper investigates the transient circulating power between paralleled inverters during unintentional islanding and proposes a controller to limit it. The controller monitors the DC link voltage and adjusts the power set-point in proportion to the rise in the voltage. A small signal model of an islanded microgrid is developed and used to design the controller. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the design

    Hybrid Generators-based AC Microgrid Performance Assessment in Island Mode

    No full text
    Achieving an accurate steady-state averaged active power sharing between parallel inverters in islanded AC microgrids could be realized by a traditional droop control. For identical inverters having the same droop gains, it is assumed that the transient average power responses will be similar, and no circulating current will flow between the units. However, different line impedances could influence the instantaneous power significantly and thus circulating power flows among the inverters particularly during sudden disturbances such as load changes. This power, if absorbed by an inverter, will lead the DC link voltage to rise abruptly and trip the inverter, thus, degrading the performance of the whole microgrid. The problem becomes worse when hybrid generators are serving as unidirectional power source. This paper assesses the performance of hybrid generators within an islanded microgrid against the mismatch in line impedances. Two schemes to stabilize the microgrid are proposed. In addition, a participation factor analysis is developed to select the most effective controller scheme to bound the DC link voltage and minimize the circulating power. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the analysis and the capability of the proposed controller

    A review of recent control techniques of drooped inverter‐based AC microgrids

    As the penetration of distributed generation (DG) systems in the grid is increasing, the challenge of combining large numbers of DGs in the power systems has to be carefully clarified and managed. The control strategy and management concept of the interconnected systems should be flexible and reliable to handle the various types of DGs. This can be suitably met by microgrids. This paper introduces the microgrid structure and elements and states the main objectives that should be achieved by the microgrid controllers and each DG controller in both operation modes (grid-connected and island mode). It also presents the challenges of having multiple DG units in a microgrid in terms of accurate power control/sharing, voltage and frequency regulation, power management between DGs, different renewable energy sources integration and deployment, seamless mode transfer, and the modeling issues. The centralized and decentralized control techniques as potential solutions have been discussed and compared by highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. Furthermore, the recent control techniques for drooped alternating current microgrids and the main proposed solutions and contributions in the literature have been exposed to finally overcome the droop control limitations and obtain a flexible and smart distributed power system

    No full text
    In this paper, a small signal model of an island microgrid containing multi parallel inverters is established. The inverters are dealt as ideal voltage sources with an equivalent output impedance as the effect of the inner loops dynamics of the voltage controller can be neglected. In addition, this model includes the DC link voltage state of each inverter. The model can be used to study the dynamic of the DC link voltages during unintentional islanding by proper defining of the initial conditions. The model is validated using detailed simulation

    Improved reactive power sharing for parallel-operated inverters in islanded microgrids

    No full text
    Unequal impedances of interconnecting cables between paralleled inverters in island mode of microgrids cause inaccurate reactive power sharing when traditional droop control is used. Many in the literature adopt low speed communications between the inverters and a central control unit to overcome this problem. However, the loss of this communication link can be very detrimental to the performance of the controller. This paper proposes an improved reactive power-sharing control method. It employs infrequent measurements of the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) to estimate the output impedance between the inverters and the PCC and readjust the voltage droop controller gains accordingly. The controller then reverts to being a traditional droop controller using the newly calculated gains. This increases the immunity of the controller against any loss in the communication links between the central control unit and the inverters. The capability of the proposed control method has been demonstrated in simulation and experiment using a laboratory scale microgrid

    A folkloristic image of homeland in the novel „The Issa valley“ by Czesław Miłosz

    No full text
    e-ISSN 2029-8692The article reveals that the novel The Issa valley by Czesław Miłosz aims to represent the Issa valley as a preserver of an archaic cultural heritage, mainly by using folklore genres which have preserved mythical thinking (mythological songs, belief legends and historical legends). It may be observed that nearly all folklore material at least in some detail is associated with the river Issa – the fulcrum of the represented world. In the novel, folklore material is employed when the author seeks to reveal a junction of paganism and Christianity and the battle between them, which continues both in the collective world outlook of the inhabitants of the Issa valley and in the inner world of a particular person. Orienting himself to folkloristic prototypes, the author in his novel epitomizes individual characters. Moreover, the article discloses that mythological songs about the Sun and the Moon, which in the novel are introduced as registered on the river Issa (Nevėžis is a prototype of Issa), in reality are taken from a song collection by L. Rėza Dainos oder Litthauische Volkslieder (1825), published in Lithuania Minor.Kultūrų studijų katedra / Department of Cultural StudiesHumanitarinių mokslų fakultetas / Faculty of HumanitiesVytauto Didžiojo universitetas / Vytautas Magnus Universit

    Stability Analysis and Control of a Microgrid against Circulating Power between Parallel Inverters

    No full text
    In grid-connected mode, the grid normally absorbs all the power generated by each inverter in a microgrid. Droop control-based microgrid power management employs the frequency as a wireless communication to determine the power outage. However, in the cases of grid loss, each inverter should receive, from a supervisory controller, new settings of the output power suitable to the microgrid load. Because of the supervisory controllers are slower than the droop control loops, this might produce unstable dynamics caused by the excess generated power circulating between the inverters if the microgrid load is low. This case degrades the microgrid stability leading the DC link voltage of each inverter to rise to trip point. In this paper, a PD voltage control loop is proposed to stabilize the system and minimize the circulating power so providing more time for the supervisory control to respond without tripping any inverter. A detailed small signal model is developed and stability analysis is performed to tune the controller’s gain. Matlab/Simulink results validate the performance of the proposed controller
