reactive power sharing and voltage Harmonic Distortion compensation of droop controlled single phase islanded microgrids
IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2014Co-Authors: Alexander Micallef, M Apap, Cyril Spiteristaines, Juan C. VasquezAbstract:When paralleling multiple inverters that are capable of operating as an island, the inverters typically employ the droop control scheme. Traditional droop control enables the decentralized regulation of the local voltage and frequency of the microgrid by the inverters. The droop method also enables the inverters to share the real and reactive power required by the loads. This paper focuses on some of the limitations of parallel islanded single phase inverters using droop control. Algorithms with the aim to address the following limitations in islanded operation were proposed: reactive power sharing and reduction of the voltage Harmonic Distortion at the point of common coupling (PCC). Experimental results were then presented to show the suitability of the proposed algorithms in achieving reactive power sharing and in improving the voltage Harmonic Distortion at the PCC.

Harmonic Distortion assessment for a single phase grid connected photovoltaic system
Renewable Energy, 2011Co-Authors: Anthoula Menti, Thomas Zacharias, John MiliasargitisAbstract:Nowadays, grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems constitute an emerging technology. This has given rise to concerns about their contribution to Harmonic Distortion levels in utility grids. Valuable insight into the electrical behavior of such a system, including its impact on power quality, can be obtained through extensive simulation studies. In this paper, models are developed with a focus on not only accurate but also fast simulation of grid-connected PV systems. First, time-consuming processes are identified and discussed. These are mainly associated with the semiconductor power switching devices and the non-linear characteristics of the system components (isolation transformer, PV generator). Next, models are developed in order to increase simulation speed by avoiding time-consuming procedures. The validity of the approach is ascertained by comparing simulation results with published measurements. A case study is then performed in order to obtain current and voltage waveforms and, subsequently, Harmonic Distortion levels. Further simulations are carried out using different values for various system parameters in order to make an assessment of their impact in terms of waveform Distortion.
