Identifying Unstable Region of Operation in a Micro-grid System.

Abstract: This paper presents the stability analysis based on impedance representation of a single phase inverter operating as voltage source, where the Nyquist criteria can be applied. The method can be used to study the stability of a micro-grid dominated by power electronics in isolated operation mode. First, a small signal input impedance model is described. The second methodology applies no energy storage at the AC and DC side of the inverter. For two methods a comparative evaluation with the measured impedance was realized. The obtained results show that the proposed method of no energy storage can be employed in the studies of stability for micro grid systems. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
