Performance of droop based load controller in interconnected micro hydro power plants

Droop based controller ensures the parallel operation of power plants in power system. Such controller is also required for Micro hydro power plants to work in interconnected micro hydro power plants. The approach with frequency droop to make a Mini-Grid model has been studied. Model of such frequency droop based controller has been successfully designed. Various real time cases were designed and simulated using the controller. This paper describes performance of simulated droop based electronic load controller for interconnected micro hydro power plants or Mini-Grid.
