Abstract
This paper presents implementation of control method for dual control of Voltage and Current control and Power sharing coupled with Demand Response for the islanded microgrid. These three controller viz Voltage and current controller, Power sharing controller and smart load controller while acting in unison can able to maintain long layoff from the connection requirement of the main grid. The paper uses state space inverter based generator model with close loop Voltage and Current control and Power sharing controller will enhance microgrid stability and transient response where smart load controller which uses state space model for voltage,current and Phase Locked Loop units to estimate reserve power available from smart load for better voltage and frequency regulation. Voltage current Controller and Power Sharing Controller will also assist the microgrid for smooth disconnection of microgrid from main grid while smart load controller will use its point of load voltage control for smooth islanding of microgrid. This control technique henceforth called tripartite control technique, compared with classical controller connected to microgrid in maintaining frequency, voltage with power sharing of the inverter driven by renewable generator. This paper investigate the operation performance issues of test Microgrid using Tripartite Control Technique. Simulation results indicate close approximation with experimental results
