Abstract
The coupling between the active and the reactive power of the droop-controlled inverter is critical in the low-voltage microgrid. The conventional virtual power-based control strategy can decouple the active and the reactive power of the inverter, whereas the active power of the load is probably not equally shared among the parallel inverters in the microgrid. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes an improved virtual power-based control method for the droop-controlled parallel inverters with a unified rotation angle in the power transformation. Meanwhile, the optimal value of the unified rotation angle is rigorously derived through investigating the relative stability of the system by innovatively adopting Routh Stability Criterion. Moreover, the proposed method is enhanced by introducing low-pass filters in the coupling path for further mitigating the coupling between the active and the reactive power of the inverter. Additionally, the stability analysis and parameter design for the proposed method are comprehensively presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by the simulation and experimental results.
