Abstract
- This paper discusses the stability of an autonomous microgrid in which, load sharing by a gain scheduled angle droop controller with derivative feedback is proposed. It is assumed that all the DGs are connected through Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The VSCs are controlled by state feedback controller to achieve desired voltage and current outputs that are decided by a droop controller. First a load sharing strategy is derived in terms of droop controller gain and converter output inductance, combining angle droop controller and DC load flow analysis. Then state space models of converters with its associated feedback controller are derived to investigate system stability as a function of the droop controller gain and converter output inductance through eigen value analysis. It is shown that with proposed angle droop controllers, where the droop gains are scheduled based on the output power along with derivative feedback it is possible to achieve a higher stability margin with better load sharing. These observations are then verified through simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDC. It will be shown that the simulation results closely agree with stability behavior predicted by the eigenvalue analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
