Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a frequency and voltage control strategy for a standalone microgrid with high penetration of intermittent renewable generation systems, which might cause large frequency and voltage deviation in the system due to unpredictable output power fluctuations. To this end, a battery energy storage system (BESS) is suggested for generating the nominal system frequency instead of a synchronous generator, from a frequency control perspective. This makes the system frequency independent of the mechanical inertia of the synchronous generator. However, a BESS has a capacity limitation; a synchronous generator is used to maintain the state of charge (SOC) of the BESS at a certain value. For voltage control, we proposed that a reactive power/active power (Q/P) droop control be added to the conventional reactive power controller. By adding a Q/P droop control, renewable generation acquires a voltage-damping effect, which dramatically alleviates the voltage fluctuation induced by its own output power fluctuation. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy from both frequency and voltage control perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
