A Control Architecture for Regulating Voltage and Power Flows in a Networked Microgrid System
This paper presents a unique control system to regulate power exchanges and load bus voltage in a networked microgrid (NMG) system comprising AC and DC microgrids. During the islanding of a microgrid in this NMG system, load voltage and power balance can get disturbed. A control system and associate...

| description | This paper presents a unique control system to regulate power exchanges and load bus voltage in a networked microgrid (NMG) system comprising AC and DC microgrids. During the islanding of a microgrid in this NMG system, load voltage and power balance can get disturbed. A control system and associated converter and inverter control methods are presented to rectify these issues. An efficient model predictive control (MPC) method, which gives a tracking error of 50% lower than a conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller, is used to control multiple inverters in the NMG system. Simulation studies are conducted to test the NMG in islanding and load change scenarios. With the help of these studies, it is verified that the MPC-controlled inverters can provide better tracking accuracy in achieving desired power flows in the NMG system. |
