【 摘 要 】

Even the simplest version of the distribution networks face challenges such as maintaining load voltage and system frequency stability and at the same time minimizing the circulating reactive power in grid-forming nodes. As the consumers at the far end of the radial distribution network face serious voltage fluctuations and deviations once the load varies. Therefore, this paper presents an enhanced distributed control strategy to restore the load voltage magnitude and to realize power-sharing proportionally in islanded microgrids. This proposed study considers the voltage regulation at the load node as opposed to the inverter terminal. At the same time, a supervisory control layer is put on to observe and correct the load voltage and system frequency deviations. This presented method is aimed at replacing paralleled inverter control methods hitherto used. Stability analysis using system-wide methodical small-signal models, the MATLAB/Simulink, and experimental results obtained with conventional and proposed control schemes verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
