Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the design, analysis and operation of inverter-interfaced standalone microgrids. The commonly used droop-based approach for frequency and voltage control is improved by proposing an adaptive droop control that can maintain equal reactive power sharing among the inverters. An improved small signal model is developed to analyze system stability and effect of various control and system parameters on the response of the system. Unstable regions are identified to help in reliable operation of microgrid. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing the predicted response with the simulated response of the system. The simulation model was built in MATLAB/Simulink.
