Abstract

This paper proposes a method to support the voltage of remote (critical) buses in islanded microgrids based on the consensus control of distributed generations (DG) output reactive power. In addition to primary droop control which ensures equal load sharing among DGs, secondary distributed control is employed to mitigate voltage drop/rise of remote buses. Consensus is reached when all DGs agree on their reactive power contribution, proportional to their capacity. The amount of the required reactive power is obtained from Backward Forward Sweep (BFS) power flow analysis, which has been modified to calculate the power flow of unbalanced islanded microgrids more accurately. The proposed algorithm's performance is evaluated on several case studies. It proves to be accurate and effective in regulating voltage level of remote (critical) buses in islanded microgrids. © 2019 IEEE.
