An Optimal Control Load Demand Sharing Strategy for Multi-Feeders in Islanded Microgrid

Abstract

For the operation of autonomous microgrid (MG), an essential task is to meet the load demand sharing using multiple distributed generation (DG) units. The conventional droop control methods and its numerous variations have been developed in the literature in order to realize proportional power sharing amongst such multiple DG units. However, the conventional droop control strategies are subjected to power sharing error because of non-trivial feeder impedances of medium-voltage MGs. Further, complex MGs configurations (mesh or looped networks) usually make to reactive power sharing and system voltage regulation more challenging. This paper presents an optimal control strategy in order to perform the proportional power sharing and voltage regulation for multiple feeders in islanded AC MGs. The case study simulation for optimizing the power sharing and voltage regulations in proposed control strategy has been verified through using MATLAB/Simulink systems.
