Abstract
This paper proposes the incorporation of distributed and decentralized control models of generators and converters into the power flow analysis of islanded hybrid microgrids (IHMG). The absence of a slack bus in an islanded microgrid presents challenges to its frequency and voltage regulation as well as power flow calculation. While droop mechanism as the primary control has been well incorporated into load flow analysis, distributed secondary control has only recently been developed for islanded microgrids. This paper proposes a distributed secondary control for a) generators in an AC subgrid of an IHMG and b) interlinking converters in networked IHMGs. Both the distributed and droop control are incorporated into a three-phase power flow calculation based on a modified Backward Forward Sweep method. The algorithm has been tested on several case studies, and the power flow results have been verified against a time-domain simulation. The proposed method proves to be accurate and useful for the planning and design of three-phase networked IHMGs.
