The Stability

This article presents a control strategy that enables both islanded and grid-tied operations of a three-phase inverter in distributed generation. This distributed generation (DG) is based on a dramatically evolved direct current (DC) source. A unified control strategy is introduced to operate the interface in either the isolated or grid-connected modes. The proposed control system is based on the instantaneous tracking of the active power flow in order to achieve current control in the grid-connected mode and retain the stability of the frequency using phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits at the point of common coupling (PCC), in addition to managing the reactive power supplied to the grid. On the other side, the proposed control system is also based on the instantaneous tracking of the voltage to achieve the voltage control in the standalone mode and retain the stability of the frequency by using another circuit including a special equation (wt = 2πft, f = 50 Hz). This utilization provides the ability to obtain voltage stability across the critical load. One benefit of the proposed control strategy is that the design of the controller remains unconverted for other operating conditions. The simulation results are added to evaluate the performance of the proposed control technology using a different method; the first method used basic proportional integration (PI) controllers, and the second method used adaptive proportional integration (PI) controllers, i.e., an Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

In response to the problem of increased load demand, efforts have been made to decentralize the power utility through the use of distributed generation (DG). Despite the advantages of DG integration, un-intentional islanding remains a big challenge and has to be addressed in the integration of DG to the power system. Islanding condition occurs when the DG continues to power a part of the grid system even after the connection to the rest of the system has been lost, either intentionally or un-intentionally. The unintentional islanding mode of operation is not desirable as it poses a threat to the line workers’ safety and power quality issues. There are many methods which may be used to detect the islanding situation. Passive methods such as under/over voltage and under/over frequency work well when there is an imbalance of power between the loads and the DG present in the power island. However, these methods has larger Non Detection Zone (NDZ) and fail to detect the islanding condition if there is a balance of power supplied and consumed in the island. Remote technique of islanding detection is reliable but is not economical in small network area. Active technique of islanding detection distorts the power quality of the system as it introduces external signal in the system. This paper uses the Wavelet Transform (WT) to extract the features of voltage signal at PCC (Point of Common Coupling) and these features have been used to train Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The ANN model trained by these WT features, which understands the pattern of input feature vector, have been used to classify the islanding and non-islanding events. In this proposed method, NDZ has been efficiently eliminated which is created due to difference between active and reactive power during islanding condition. No power quality problem exists in this method as there is no disturbance injection. Hence, this proposed method is better than conventional passive and active methods.
