A Review on Mode Transition Strategies between Grid-Connected
The proposed strategy was developed using a Dual Pulse (DP) optimization methodology for a magnetically coupled microgrid with 20 different grid-connected and off-grid operation modes.
Microgrids can operate in two main modes: grid connected and off grid. Microgrids also incorporate additional functionalities for transient mode management between the two main modes, namely, islanding transitions and grid reconnections . The MG operation modes are depicted in Figure 5.
Abstract: Microgrids are relatively smaller but complete power systems. They incorporate the most innovative technologies in the energy sector, including distributed generation sources and power converters with modern control strategies. In the future smart grids, they will be an essential element in their architecture.
Subsequent to the protection of the microgrid, the smooth operation of the microgrid has also been a major focus of the proposed study. Therefore, the switching of microgrids between the modes (i.e. grid-connected to islanded or vice-versa) has been engaged in the proposed controller.
Once the islanding instance is detected, the CSMTC signals the SSW to open and the controller registers the mode of operation as an 'islanded mode'. Simultaneously, the primary controller of the microgrid's master DG is signalled to switch from PQ control to Vf control (i.e. current control to voltage control) mode of operation.
The proposed strategy was developed using a Dual Pulse (DP) optimization methodology for a magnetically coupled microgrid with 20 different grid-connected and off-grid operation modes.
The voltage offset is improved from 19% to synchronize with the grid, and the microgrid islanded/grid-connected mode is smoothly switched.
