Abstract
In a world where the energy crisis is becoming overwhelming, demand for integrating renewable energy sources is increasing and forming microgrids is becoming an essential solution. The new microgrid systems, which depend mainly on renewable energy sources instead of conventional synchronous generators, come with a low inertia concern. This paper proposes a virtual inertia controller based on a high-pass filter (HPF) to support the frequency of the AC microgrid while maintaining the DC voltage of the DC microgrid within the nominal ranges in cases of contingencies. The proposed system encounters an AC-DC microgrid with a renewable energy source on the DC microgrid alongside constant power load and resistive loads, while on the AC microgrid side, a synchronous generator is used to present the low inertia of the grid with dynamic loads and static loads. The state-space linearized model of the system is developed and verified using Matlab Simulink. The dynamic response of the proposed controller is compared to the low-pas filter (LPF)-based controller. Moreover, the effect of changing the system’s parameters on eigenvalues is investigated.
