    Multiple inverters operated in parallel for proportional load sharing in microgrid
    (Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science info@iaesjournal.com, 2017) Chethan Raj, D.; Gaonkar, D.N.
    The new energy source utilization and development, gradual rise of distributed power grid miniaturization, intelligence, control has become a trend. In order to make microgrid reliable and efficiently run, control technology of microgrid has become a top priority and an inverter as microgrid basic unit, its control has become the most important part in microgrid. In this paper, three inverters are operated in parallel using an P-V/Q-F droop control is investigated. Mathematical model of three phase inverter with LC filter is derived, which is based on the voltage and current dual control loop. Parallel control strategy based on P-V/Q-F droop control, does not require a real time communications between the inverters and more suitable for microgrid applications. To verify the feasibility and validity of the droop control scheme, simulation is done in Matlab/Simulink and results indicate droop control has significant effect on power sharing and balancing the voltage magnitude, frequency. © 2017 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

    Power sharing control strategy of parallel inverters in AC microgrid using improved reverse droop control
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2020) Chethan Raj, D.; Gaonkar, D.N.; Guerrero, J.M.
    Microgrid structure is developed on the basis of distributed generation units. Microgrid distributed generation units and energy storage devices are connected through inverters interface to the point of common coupling. Microgrid system with multiple inverters, the use of conventional direct and reverse droop control method will cause uneven distribution of power, which is due to the difference between the output impedance and the line impedance of the inverter. In this paper, the traditional reverse droop control method is introduced, the power distribution of inverter output impedance is analysed, and the defects of traditional reverse droop control are pointed out. Adding virtual resistor in the control loop of reverse droop control improves the power sharing and stability of operation, but also leads to the voltage drop in microgrid. To compensate the output voltage deviation, secondary control is proposed. Simulation results show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. © © 2020 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
