Low voltage ride-through capability improvement of microgrid using a hybrid coordination control strategy
This paper proposes a hybrid coordination control strategy to improve the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of microgrids. During microgrid external failure, the overcurrent and the voltage sag of the microgrid can be effectively suppressed. Compared with traditional control strategies, the microgrid transient performance can also be enhanced by adopting a generalized control algorithm, performing the active switching of the energy storage (ES) operation mode and triggering the inductance-type flux coupling fault current limiters (FCLs). Among them, according to the hierarchical control structure of the grid-connected inverter, the generalized control algorithm is applied to ES. Through the two degrees of freedom's control principle and inverse plant modeling techniques, the generalized control algorithm can make the control layer of the ES inverter operate in all control targets (i.e., PQ control, droop control and Vf control), with a single control structure. Also, it eliminates the effects of microgrid distortion voltage and ES surge current on the control system of the ES inverter. For the inverter application layer, by introducing microgrid voltage and angular frequency feedforward compensation, the voltage and frequency fluctuation of the microgrid can be suppressed efficiently under the fault conditions. Therefore, with the help of the generalized control algorithm, the active switching function of ES can be carried out successfully, which is the key technology for microgrids to realize their operational mode smooth switching. Meanwhile, the voltage sag and overcurrent of microgrids can be significantly mitigated through generating reactive power from microgrids and injecting it into inductance-type FCLs with lower cost. The related theoretical derivation and simulation analysis under various scenarios (including asymmetric faults) confirm that the proposed control strategy can not only enhance the LVRT capability, but also strengthen the microgrid transient performance.
