Smart Microgrid Control Method PQ

Can intelligent p-q control be used in a microgrid?

Encouraged by the aforementioned analysis, a novel intelligent P-Q control method is proposed for three-phase grid-connected inverters in a microgrid by using an adaptive population-based extremal optimization (APEO).

What is microgrid control?

The microgrid control can be operated in a Centralized Control mode where the main focus is on optimizing the microgrid or in a decentralized mode where the main focus is on maximizing the power production and selling of additional generated power. The control strategies in a microgrid are dependent on the method of operation [9, 10].

What is p-q control scheme for grid-connected inverter in microgrid?

Since we are using the topologies of directly connected inverter to PV cell thus, we are using the P-Q control strategy of the grid-connected inverter in the microgrid. The RC block is used to match the PV terminal's load line to draw maximum power from the PV array. In this work, the P-Q control scheme for the inverter has been used.

How can a microgrid improve the performance of SMG?

Looking at the rise in population and power demand, the AC, DC, and hybrid microgrid applications are gaining interest. Many researchers suggested different robust control techniques, storage devices, and inverter topologies to improve the performance of SMG by providing better stability, voltage, and frequency control.

What is microgrid performance?

The performance of microgrid operation requires hierarchical control and estimation schemes that coordinate and monitor the system dynamics within the expected manipulated and control variables.

What is a smart microgrid?

Smart microgrid perspectives The smart grids deploy various services and technologies to modernise the traditional power grid. This deployment leads to an innovative power system that is automated, controlled, cooperative, secure and sustainable .
