Study on coordinated control of independent microgrids
To address this specific limitation, this paper proposes a novel power coordination control strategy based on real-time line impedance identification. The method first analyzes the power distribution principle and equilibrium conditions under droop control. . Droop control is an effective power regulation method for islanded microgrids to cope with fluctuations in renewable energy and loads. First, the concept of DER inadequacy is illustrated. . Advanced microgrid designs need to find highly robust control solutions, with minimum communi-cation requirements and reliable pro-tection systems, all for both single microgrids and clusters of microgrids.
