This paper presents a virtual inertia and mechanical power-based control strategy to provide a stable operation of the power grid under high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs). The proposed control technique is based on a new active and reactive power-based dynamic model with the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) swing equation, in which all PMSG features i.e., inertia and mechanical power are embedded within the controller as the main contribution of this paper. To present an accurate analysis of the virtual PMSG-based parameters, the desired zero dynamics of the grid angular frequency are considered to evaluate the effects of virtual mechanical power (VMP) on the active and reactive power sharing, as well as the investigation of virtual inertia variations for the grid angular frequency responses. Moreover, by considering various active power errors and virtual inertia, the impacts of active power error on reactive power in the proposed control technique, are precisely assessed. Simulation results are employed in Matlab/Simulink software to verify the stabilizing abilities of the proposed control technique.

Renewable energy sources (RESs) generally connected with electric power system via power electronic interface. This paper presents a reactive power and voltage (Q/V) control strategy of three-phase photovoltaic (PV) system to offering reactive power based on the typical dual-loop control topology. It is worth mentioning that control strategy can support reactive power when a low voltage fault occurs in AC bus without additional compensation device. With the help of the decoupling control, the PV array can generate active power as much as possible in variable external solar radiation conditions. The voltage of PV arrays is adopted as the objective, which on account of the easy availability and controllability of voltage, to control output active power. Besides, accurately modeling process from a PV cell to PV array is described in the beginning to acquire the P-V and V-I characteristics of PV arrays, which promote the designment of Q/V control.

The ESS is considered as an effective tool for enhancing the flexibility and controllability of a wind farm, and the optimal control scheme of a wind farm with distributed ESSs is vital to the stable operation of wind power generation. In this paper, a coordinated active and reactive power control strategy based on model predictive control (MPC) is proposed for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farm (WF) with distributed energy storage systems (ESSs). The proposed control scheme coordinates the active and reactive power output among DFIG wind turbines (WTs), grid-side converters (GSCs), and distributed ESSs inside the WF, and the aim is to decrease fatigue loads of WTs, make the WT terminal voltage inside the extent practicable, and take the WF economic operation into consideration. Moreover, the best reactive power references of DFIG stator and GSC are produced independently based on their dynamics. At last, the control scheme generates optimal power references for all ESS to make the SOC of each ESS converge to their average state. With the distributed ESSs, the WF controller regulates the WTs inside WF more flexibly. A WF composed of 10 DFIG WTs was utilized to verify the control performance of the proposed coordinated active and reactive power control strategy.

<p>A new power sharing method of a virtual sychronous generator control based inverters is introduced in this paper. Since virtual synchronous generator has virtual inertia and damping properties, it significantly enhances the grid stability. However, its output power considerably affects by the line impedance. Thus, in this paper, the relation between the droop control and the line impedance is analyzed at first. Then, by appling an improved droop control strategy to an inverter based on the virtual sychronous generator control, achieving proportional active and reactive power sharing unaffected by the line impedance is realized. The result shows that a smooth response is achieved. As well as, the voltage drop caused by the line impedance is totally compensated. As a result, the system stability is furtherly improved. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through MATLAB/Simulink.</p>

The droop control is commonly used as the control strategy in microgrid. The traditional droop control only considers the relation between the active power and voltage frequency; and the relation between the reactive power and voltage amplitude.This study proposes the improved droop control ; which considers the active and reactive power are simulatedly related with both the voltage amplitude and the voltage frequency. This improved droop control not only could satisfy the load sharing in according to the capability of the distributed generations; but also represents better stability than the conditional droop control.The simulation in MATLAB/simuliink validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy

The paper includes the analysis of the operation of low-voltage prosumer installation consisting of receivers and electricity sources and equipped with a 3-phase energy storage system. The aim of the storage application is the management of active power within the installation to decrease the total power exchanged with the supplying network and thus reduce energy costs borne by the prosumer. A solution for the effective implementation of the storage system is presented. Apart from the active power management performed according to the prosumer’s needs, the storage inverter provides the ancillary service of voltage regulation in the network according to the requirements of the network operator. A control strategy involving algorithms for voltage regulation without prejudice to the prosumer’s interest is described in the paper. Reactive power is used first as a control signal and if the required voltage effect cannot be reached, then the active power in the controlled phase is additionally changed and the Energy Storage System (ESS) loading is redistributed in phases in such a way that the total active power set by the prosumer program remains unchanged. The efficiency of the control strategy was tested by means of a simulation model in the PSCAD/EMTDC program. The results of the simulations are presented.

The optimal P-Q control issue of the active and reactive power for a microgrid in the grid-connected mode has attracted increasing interests recently. In this paper, an optimal active and reactive power control is developed for a three-phase grid-connected inverter in a microgrid by using an adaptive population-based extremal optimization algorithm (APEO). Firstly, the optimal P-Q control issue of grid-connected inverters in a microgrid is formulated as a constrained optimization problem, where six parameters of three decoupled PI controllers are real-coded as the decision variables, and the integral time absolute error (ITAE) between the output and referenced active power and the ITAE between the output and referenced reactive power are weighted as the objective function. Then, an effective and efficient APEO algorithm with an adaptive mutation operation is proposed for solving this constrained optimization problem. The simulation and experiments for a 3kW three-phase grid-connected inverter under both nominal and variable reference active power values have shown that the proposed APEO-based P-Q control method outperforms the traditional Z-N empirical method, the adaptive genetic algorithm-based, and particle swarm optimization-based P-Q control methods.

This paper presents a power compensation strategy to suppress the double frequency power ripples of Voltage source converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. The mathematical control equations of the double frequency ripple power of VSC under unbalanced operating conditions are firstly derived and established, where the dynamic behaviors of the double frequency ripples in active and reactive power are regarded as being driven by current-relevant components and voltage-relevant components, respectively. Based on the equations, a power compensation control strategy of VSC-HVDC is proposed via the passivity-based control with disturbance observer to suppress both the current-relevant and voltage-relevant components in the power ripples. With this control strategy, the double frequency ripples in active and reactive power are suppressed simultaneously and system performance is significantly enhanced with the implementation of the disturbance observer in the passivity-based control. Theoretical stability analysis and simulation cases show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed strategy.

Some faults will result wind turbine generators off-grid due to low grid voltage , furthermore, large-scale wind farms tripping can result in severe system oscillation and aggravate system transient instability . In view of this, static compensator (STATCOM) is installed in the grid containing large-scale wind farm. A voltage feedforward control strategy is proposed to adjust the reactive power of STATCOM compensation and ensure that the grid voltage is quickly restored to a safe range. The mathematical model of the doubly-fed induction wind generator (DFIG) is proposed. The control strategy of DFIG uses PI control for rotor angular velocity and active power. 4-machine system simulation results show that the STATCOM reactive power compensation significantly improve output active power of large-scale wind farm satisfying transient stability, reduce the probability of the tripping, and improve the utilization efficiency of wind farms.
