Abstract
Due to the increasing penetration level of microgrids (MGs), it becomes a critical issue for MGs to help sustaining power system stability. Therefore, ancillary services, such as the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability should be incorporated in MGs in order to guarantee stable operation of the utility grid during grid faults. In this paper, a LVRT control strategy based on positive/negative sequence droop control is proposed for grid-interactive MGs to ride-through voltage sags with not only inductive/resistive, but also complex line impedance. By using the proposed control strategy, MGs can support the grid voltage, make profits, and also ride-through the voltage dip during the whole fault period. A two-layer hierarchical control strategy is proposed in this paper. The primary controller consists of voltage and current inner loops, a conventional droop control and a virtual impedance loop, while the secondary controller is based on a positive/negative sequence droop scheme which is able to coordinate the power injection during voltage sags. Experimental results are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
