A Review on Control Methods for Micro-grid based Distributed Generation System

Dileep Gurjar, Vaibhav Sharma, Rahul Mishra

Abstract


To counter the growing demand for energy, improvement in integration of distributed micro-grid based energy is the most promising problem in power system in the near future. The implementation of micro-grid systems offers significant advantages to both power suppliers and end customers. The current emphasis is on a comprehensive review of the control strategies and issues related to micro-grid and various droop control and strategy mode operation. This paper presents a brief description of PQ control voltage / frequency, and current control, which is associated with the micro-grid mode Operation. This review also includes a micro-network control and other issues such as island mode, stability and unbalanced supply voltage and issues of power quality. Additionally, this article analyzes the problems of islanding in micro grid as the burden of challenge and loss of distributed generation, and nonlinear unbalanced load. We have also implemented simulation and modeling of droop control in micro grid associated with distributed generation.
