A phase-locked-loop design for the smooth operation of a hybrid microgrid

A microgrid contains both distributed generators (DGs) and loads and can be viewed by a controllable load by utilities. The DGs can be either inertial synchronous generators or non-inertial converter interfaced. Moreover, some of them can come online or go offline in plug and play fashion. The combi...

description A microgrid contains both distributed generators (DGs) and loads and can be viewed by a controllable load by utilities. The DGs can be either inertial synchronous generators or non-inertial converter interfaced. Moreover, some of them can come online or go offline in plug and play fashion. The combination of these various types of operation makes the microgrid control a challenging task, especially when the microgrid operates in an autonomous mode. In this paper, a new phase locked loop (PLL) algorithm is proposed for smooth synchronization of plug and play DGs. A frequency droop for power sharing is used and a pseudo inertia has been introduced to non-inertial DGs in order to match their response with inertial DGs. The proposed strategy is validated through PSCAD simulation studies.
