본 연구는 독립 운전 모드의 P+MR 기반의 전압제어기의 계통 동기화 방식을 조사한다. 계통 복전 후 계통과의 재연결을 위한 계통 동기화가 고정자 좌표계하에서 제어가 수행되는 경우, 독립운전하에서 정전압, 정주파수를 가지는 교류 지령 전압은 계통 전압으로 대체되는데 이 부분에서 고정자 좌표계 제어하의 현재 출력 전압과 계통 전압의 위상 차이에 기인하여 상당한 전압 오차가 발생할 여지가 있고 이러한 전압 오차 발생은 심각한 전압 과도 상태를 야기할 수 있게 된다. 추가적으로, 인버터의 출력 단에 연결된 부하가 비선형 부하라면 부하에서 생성되는 고조파에 기인하여 위에 언급된 전압 과도 상태가 더욱 심각해질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위에 언급된 문제를 해결하기 위한 대책으로 독립 운전 모드하에서의 전압 제어를 위해 사용되는 P+MR 제어 기반의 비선형 부하를 고려한 매끄러운 계통 동기화 방식이 제안되었다. 제안된 매끄러운 계통 동기화 방식은 실험 결과를 통해 검증된다.

Microgrid, which can be considered as an integration of various dispersed resources (DRs), is characterized by number of DRs interfaced through the power electronics converters. The microgrid comprising these DRs is often operated in an islanded mode. To minimize the cost, reduce complexity and increase reliability, it is preferred to avoid any communication channel between them. Consequently, the droop control method is traditionally adopted to distribute active and reactive power among the DRs operating in parallel. However, the accuracy of distribution of active and reactive power among the DRs controlled by the conventional droop control approach is highly dependent on the value of line impedance, R/X i.e., resistance to reactance ratio of the line, voltage setting of inverters etc. The limitations of the conventional droop control approach are demonstrated and a modified droop control approach to reduce the effect of impedance mis-match and improve the time response is proposed. The error in reactive power sharing is minimized by inserting virtual impedance in line with the inverters to remove the mis-match in impedance. The improved time response is achieved by modifying the real-power frequency droop using arctan function. Simulations results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the control approach.

This paper presents a new load sharing control for use between paralleled three-phase inverters in an islanded microgrid based on the online line impedance estimation by the use of a Kalman filter. In this study, the mismatch of power sharing when the line impedance changes due to temperature, frequency, significant differences in line parameters and the requirements of the Plug-and-Play mode for inverters connected to a microgrid has been solved. In addition, this paper also presents a new droop control method working with the line impedance that is different from the traditional droop algorithm when the line impedance is assumed to be pure resistance or pure inductance. In this paper, the line impedance estimation for parallel inverters uses the minimum square method combined with a Kalman filter. In addition, the secondary control loops are designed to restore the voltage amplitude and frequency of a microgrid by using a combined nominal value SOGI-PLL with a generalized integral block and phase lock loop to monitor the exact voltage magnitude and frequency phase at the PCC. A control model has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink with three voltage source inverters connected in parallel for different ratios of power sharing. The simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed control method.

Recently, Grid-forming(GFM) converter, which offers features such as virtual inertia, damping, black start capability, and islanded mode operation in power systems, has gained significant attention. However, in low-voltage microgrids(MG), it faces challenges due to the coupling phenomenon between active and reactive power caused by the low line impedance X/R ratio and a non-negligible power angle. This power coupling issue leads to stability and performance degradation, inaccurate power sharing, and control parameter design problems for GFM converters. Therefore, this paper serves as a review study on not only control methods associated with GFM converters but also power decoupling techniques. The aim is to introduce promising control methods and enhance accessibility to future research activities by providing a critical review of power decoupling methods. Consequently, by facilitating easy access for future researchers to the study of power decoupling methods, this work is expected to contribute to the expansion of distributed power generation.
