Abstract

Accurate power sharing Droop control Microgrid Restoration Energy Engineering and Power Technology Electrical and Electronic Engineering Renewable Energy Sustainability and the Environment Control and Optimization
The droop control technology, which can achieve an autonomous power sharing among distributed resources interface converters, provides the advantages of enhanced system reliability and reduced complexity. However, the reactive power sharing accuracy of the conventional − droop method can be degraded due to its dependence on the line impedances. The −droop control method was proposed to reduce the influence of line impedance. The reactive power sharing accuracy is improved but still affected by the restoration operation. In this paper, a modified restoration mechanism is proposed. Its influence on the power sharing is theoretically explained and analysed. Both simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the proposed method.
