Abstract
The islanded microgrids are vulnerable to stability problems during high penetration of dynamic loads like induction motors (IMs), which results in continuous oscillations in voltage and frequency, resulting in disturbances in the islanded microgrid. In this work, a modified multi-second-order generalised frequency locked loop (MMSOGI-FLL) control algorithm is implemented. This control provides a fast response of the power converter; thereby the microgrid voltage/frequency are stabilised rapidly. Besides, the control also provides the dynamic reactive power for the sudden start of an IM load and regulates the common coupling point voltage in the islanded system. The MMSOGI-FLL control also provides harmonics elimination, fast convergence, DC offset removal and reactive power compensation in the islanded system. The implemented islanded system is a combination of a pico-hydro-based synchronous reluctance generator (SyRG), solar photovoltaic (PV) array and a battery energy storage (BES). The BES is connected at DC link to maintain the power equilibrium under a change in the load and power generation. Moreover, the system used in this work is proficient in feeding the non-linear load and dynamic load of an IM. The performance of this standalone microgrid is validated with extensive tests on the developed prototype, which meets the power quality requirement of the 1547.4 standards.
