Control Strategies for Seamless Transition between Grid Connected and Islanded Modes in MicrogridsDas, Dibakar January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
The popularity of distributed generating (DG) sources have been increasing over the past few years. With the increasing penetration of these DGs, the concept of micro grid is becoming popular. A micro grid is a small power system network with distributed generating sources which can operate seamlessly irrespective of the presence of the utility grid. Operating the micro grid in this manner increases system reliability and reduces power interruptions. However, it introduces several control challenges.
This thesis aims at analysing the behaviour of a micro grid system during the transition between grid connected mode and islanded mode of operation and address the control challenges through novel schemes. With the presence of grid, the micro grid system variables, such as voltage and frequency, are strictly regulated by the grid. The local sources follow the voltage and frequency reference set by the grid and supply constant power. With the loss of grid, that is when the system is islanded, the network variables need to be regulated by the local sources. The control structures for the inverter-based sources during the two operating modes are detailed in the present work.
With the loss of grid, the system should be able to transfer seamlessly to islanded mode without any transients. Similarly, when the grid supply is restored, the micro grid should seamlessly resynchronize to the grid without any transients. This thesis proposes two novel controller schemes for achieving seamless transfer between grid-connected and islanded mode in micro grids. The rst scheme uses an output feedback topology to reduce the transitions during mode transfer. The second scheme uses a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) theory based compensator to achieve seamless transfer. The performance of the proposed schemes have been validated through simulations on a benchmark micro grid network for various operating conditions.
An experimental micro grid set-up is developed with a single inverter based DG source. The droop control scheme for islanded mode of operation has been validated on hardware.

An FPGA Based MPPT and Monitoring System : suitable for a photovoltaic based microgridZheng, Rongpeng January 2019 (has links)
Microgrids containing photovoltaic (PV) cells and wind power gain more and more interest. These microgrids may work in stand-alone mode ("islanding") or be conncted to the main grid. In both modes of operation, power quality must be monitored and controlled. This report focuses on microgrids and aims to implement a monitoring system based on FPGA. In the monitoring system, two applications can be achieved, firstly a PAS-MPPT algorithm in a DC-DC boost converter to improve the maximun power point tracking of a PV unit, and secondly a detection and switching system of the grid mode - stand-alone or connected to the main grid. Simulation results prove the Verilog programs in FPGA are suitable to be used in microgrids.

Microgrid Safety and Protection StrategiesHartono, Aryudha January 2018 (has links)
One of the challenging issues with the Microgrid is that the bidirectional power flow providedby the distributed generator (DG) which modify the fault current level. Furthermore, theinverter based-renewable energy source (IB-RES) limits the total fault current contributionto the grid due to its thermal capability. Since Microgrid should be able to operate in gridconnectedand islanded mode, protection strategies are needed to solve this challenging issue.By only having IB-RES and battery storage system, the fault condition and normaloperation cannot be distinguished. Apart from fault clearing issue, there is a consideration tostudy the fault isolation in the Microgrid under the limited fault current provided by IB-RES.To have fault isolation capability, the intelligent electrical device (IED) is needed. The firststep is to find a method that can detect a fault under the fault level modification constraint.This thesis presents a zero and negative sequence current protection to detect a fault.However, to make it selective, this protection will be applied directionally. It is common thatthe distribution grid has unbalanced load operation, thus providing zero and negativesequence component in the grid. To apply the directional zero and negative sequence currentprotection, the unbalanced load flow is simulated to distinguish the fault and normaloperation under unbalanced load condition.Safety and regulation are discussed briefly in this thesis. It is important that each of theIB-RES has fault ride-through (FRT) capability that follows a regulation. However, thisregulation is expected to have a coordination with the proposed protection in the Microgridso the reliability, selectivity, and sensitivity can be achieved in grid-connected and islandedmode. This thesis shows the coordination between fuses, IED, and inverter FRT capability.After providing a protection strategy, the adaptability of the proposed protection isassessed regarding of Microgrid expansion. The result shows that by applying the schemeand following the grading margin requirement that is presented in this thesis, the Microgridexpansion will not disrupt the proposed protection coordination. Since it is known that thedistribution grid is expanding its load capacity and microgeneration in continuous basis, it isconvenient that the proposed protection in the IED is expected to be adaptable, means that ithas a fixed IED setting when the grid is expanded. The analysis is performed by electrical transient analysis program (ETAP) and MatlabSimulink. The short circuit analysis, sequence-of-operation, and unbalanced load flow aresimulated by ETAP, while the protection stability is simulated by Matlab Simulink. / Ett problem som finns med microgrid är att de distribuerade produktionsgeneratorerna harett dubbelriktat effektflöde som modifierar felströmmen. Dessutom, inverterbaseradeförnyelsebara energikällor (IB-RES) begränsar det totala felströmsbidraget på grund av desstermiska kapacitet. Eftersom microgrids ska vara operativ vid både anslutning till externt nätsamt önätsdrift behövs skyddsstrategier för att kunna hantera fel, speciellt vid önätsdrift.Om endast IB-RES och batterilager används kan feldrift och normal drift inte särskiljas.Bortsätt från felhantering är det viktigt att studera felbortkoppling för microgrid underbegränsad felström som fås av IB-RES. För att kunna åstadkomma felbortkoppling behöveren IED (från engelskans Intelligent Electronic Device). Det första steget är att finna en metodför att kunna detektera fel under fel nivå modifiering. Denna avhandling tittar på att användanoll- och minusföljds ström sekvensskydd för att detektera fel. För att göra skyddet selektivtkommer det att titta på riktningen av effektflödet. I distributionsnät är det vanligt att haobalanserade laster vilket medför noll- och negativa sekvenskomponenter i nätet. För atttillämpa riktningsskydd för noll och negativ sekvens ström simuleras ett obalanserateffektflöde för att särskilja på feldrift och normal drift vid obalanserad last.Säkerhet och förordningar diskuteras kortfattat i denna avhandling. Det är viktigt att varjeIB-RES har en feltålighet som följer vissa förordningar. Denna förordning förväntassamordna det föreslagna skyddet i micronåt så att pålitlighet, selektivitet och känslighet kanåstadkommas vid nätanslutning och önätsdrift. Denna avhandling visar samordningen mellansäkringar, IED och feltåligheten för växelomriktare.Anpassningsförmågan för det föreslagna skyddet bedöms med avseende på expansion avmicrogrid. Resultatet visar att en expansion av ett microgrid inte kommer att störa denföreslagna samordningen om skyddsmetoden och tidsfördröjningskravet som presenteras idenna avhandling följs. Eftersom det är känt att distributionsnätet kommer att fortsätta ökasin lastkapacitet och mikrogenerering, är det lämpligt att skyddet förväntas varaanpassningsbart vilket innebär att det har en fast IED inställning när nätet expanderas.Analysen genomförs med mjukvarorna electrical transient analysis program (ETAP) ochMatlab Simulink. Kortslutningsanalysen, arbetssekvensen och obalanserad lastflödesimuleras av ETAP, medan skyddsstabiliteten simuleras av Matlab Simulink.
