Active, Reactive and Harmonic Power Sharing in Islanded Microgrids
When a distributed generation (DG) or group of DG units operate as single controllable system, it is generally addressed as a Microgrid. These microgrids can be used to supply power to the main grid or can operate as an islanded grid. In an islanded microgrid, the intermittent nature of DG units (such as, photovoltaic and wind) makes the system highly dynamic. This lecture goes into details of islanded microgrids discussing the operation, control and challenges associated with these systems. Special attention will be given to harmonic and unbalance load sharing. Several recent control approaches to deal with the harmonics power sharing will be discussed in detail.
