Frequency and voltage droop control of parallel inverters in microgrid

The distributed generation units are connected to microgrid through an interfacing inverter. Interfaced inverter plays main role in the operating performance of microgrid. In this paper, interfaced parallel inverter control using an P-F/Q-V droop control was investigated, when microgrid operated in islanded mode. In islanding mode the inverter droop control should maintain voltage and frequency stability. The droop control for parallel inverters is implemented and the proportional load sharing is obtained from each individual inverter. Droop control of inverter is simulated on Matlab/Simulink, the results indicate droop control has a significant effect on balancing the voltage magnitude, frequency and power sharing.
