Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) systems go to intentional islanding operation to back up private emergency loads when the main grid is out of electric power. Conventional utility interactive inverters normally operated in current control mode in DG system must change their operation mode into voltage control mode to ensure stable voltage source to the emergency loads when intentional islanding operation occurs. During the transfer between current control mode and voltage control mode, serious transient problem may occur on the output terminal voltage of the utility interactive inverter. This paper proposes reasonal inverter topology and its control algorithm for seamless transfer of DG systems in intentional islanding operation. Filter design guide line and data for a LCL filter that is appropriate for the proposed control algorithm are also presented by the authors.
