Abstract

Droop control Frequency restoration Microgrid Virtual inertia Virtual synchronous machine Energy Engineering and Power Technology Electrical and Electronic Engineering Control and Optimization
This paper investigates the conventional droop control and the recently-developed droop control, like virtual synchronous machine (VSM) based control and Q -V control. The VSM based control can effectively smooth frequency dynamics by emulating the damping and the inertia of the synchronous machine, and Q - V droop control can enhance the more ideal results in the reactive power sharing among converters. Both controls bring their frequency and V to the initial values depending on the restoration mechanism. Such a mechanism is achieved by deviating their power reference, and it may lead to severe nonideal power-sharing when the converters asynchronously connect with the system. To improve this problem, this study presents a resetting mechanism realized through a central console. In the end, the laboratory test results are supported to validate their benefits.
