Active Power Sharing Method for Microgrids With Multiple Dispatchable Generation Units Using Modified FFC and IFC Mode Controller

Abstract

This paper suggests a method for active power sharing between several dispatchable and dispersed generation units in a microgrid with one or more connections to the main grid. The dispatchable power sources within the microgrid must promptly and adequately make up for natural demand changes and the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources for optimal operation. In microgrids with one or more grid connectivity, the paper presents a novel active power-sharing strategy that achieves the above-mentioned goal effectively. The suggested method’s robustness is verified under various microgrid operating circumstances. Results confirmed the proposed method’s adaptability to different operating conditions in the real world. Active power-sharing approaches are examined for a microgrid with several dispatchable distributed generation units (DDGU) operating in grid-interconnected and independent/isolated modes. Multiple grid connections at different points of the microgrid are investigated and recommended approaches are appraised. On a microgrid with one or more links to the conventional grid, this paper provides a novel and trustworthy approach for active power sharing across several DDGU. The proposed active power-sharing method is an effort to establish a feasible power-sharing technique that can be categorised for all, or most, types of interconnected microgrids. The outcomes demonstrate how the suggested technique can be adjusted to fit a range Results demonstrate how the proposed technique can be adjusted to fit a wide range of real life operational circumstances of microgrids.
