Autonomous active power control for islanded ac microgrids with photovoltaic generation and energy storage system

Abstract:

In an islanded ac microgrid with distributed energy storage system (ESS), photovoltaic (PV) generation, and loads, a coordinated active power regulation is required to ensure efficient utilization of renewable energy, while keeping the ESS from overcharge and overdischarge conditions. In this study, an autonomous active power control strategy is proposed for ac-islanded microgrids in order to achieve power management in a decentralized manner. The proposed control algorithm is based on frequency bus-signaling of ESS and uses only local measurements for power distribution among microgrid elements. Moreover, this study also presents a hierarchical control structure for ac microgrids that is able to integrate the ESS, PV systems, and loads. Hereby, basic power management function is realized locally in primary level, while strict frequency regulation can be achieved by using additional secondary controller …
