Real Time Simulation of Modified Bias Based Load Disturbance Rejection Controller for Frequency Regulation of Islanded Micro-Grid

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents a real time modelling of self-reliant isolated grid comprising both governable and ungovernable sources. The frequency of this system must be maintained to its desired value by reducing its deviation occurred when there is a mismatch between the load demand and the actual power generation. In order to achieve it, the actual power output of the micro-grid is required to regulate. Therefore, an attempt is made in this paper to design a modified bias (MB) with LDR (load disturbance rejection) based PID (proportional integral derivative) Controller and it can also be called droop based controller (DBC). Simulation of the micro-grid system with proposed MB-LDR based control scheme is successfully done in Real Time Simulation platform using the digital simulator of OPAL-RT OP4510. Simulation results of the system for different conditions are presented and analysis is given in details. Thereafter, comparative performance of the results obtained using proposed MB-LDR based controller with that of LDR and classical controllers is made. Results show that the proposed MB-LDR based controller gives better response as compare to other two methods in terms of peak transient deviation, settling time and number of oscillations.
