Abstract: (705 Views)
The system under study in this paper is an AC microgrid, consisting of parallel inverters and feeding an independent load. This paper includes two main parts. In the first part, the control method based on the conventional droop control method is modified to achieve accurate reactive power sharing between parallel inverters even under unequal transmission lines impedances. Then, in the second part, according to the widely use of active loads in existing microgrids, the response of the AC microgrid in presence of active loads is investigated, and effects of the factors such as the bandwidth of the DC bus voltage control loop of the active load and amount of the active load power on the system stability are studied. Next, the stability of the whole system is improved by modifying the control loops of parallel inverters on the source-side. At the end, simulation results are given in the Matlab-Simulink enviroment to evaluate the AC microgrid responses.
