Abstract
Existence of nonlinear loads makes load power sharing more challenging in the islanded microgrids. Conventional droop control may cause the poor harmonic power sharing among the distributed generations (DGs) due to the mismatched line impedance. This paper proposes an adaptive regulation method of the virtual harmonic impedance for the accurate harmonic power sharing. Consensus algorithm is used to regulate adaptively the virtual harmonic impedance according to the harmonic power sharing error among the DGs with considering of the mismatched line impedance. This method does not require the prior knowledge of the line impedance. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulation result for achieving the accurate harmonic power sharing to reduce the voltage distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC).
