Control of the Distributed Generation (DG) system is important in both grid-connected and stand- alone modes and the system stability becomes very crucial during the transfer between these
Abstract: One of the main features of Microgrids is the ability to operate in both grid-connected mode and islanding mode. In each mode of operation, distributed energy resources (DERs) can be operated under grid-forming or grid-following control strategies.
Two strategies are proposed for transition from grid-connected to island mode and vice versa based on the status of island mode controls. Significant transients in load, P and Q are observed in Scheme-I with momentary interruption to load during transition from grid-connected to islanded mode of operation.
A microgrid has two modes of operation, namely, grid-connected and island (stand-alone) modes [8, 9]. In grid-connected mode, the microgrid operates in parallel with the main utility, and the main grid is responsible for smooth operation by controlling the voltage and frequency.
Sometimes the islanded mode controls may become more complex than grid-connected mode controls. The control, protection and stability issues, being much different from those of the conventional power system, open up new prospects of research in this field.
In grid-connected mode, MG inverters typically operate under a current source control strategy, whereas in islanding mode MG inverters operate under a voltage source control approach. Smooth transfer between the grid-connected mode and the islanding mode is one of the main challenges of MG activity.
Another challenge that comes with the operation of microgrid is the stabilised operation during grid-connected and islanded modes and proper strategy for a stable transition from grid-connected to islanded mode and vice versa [ 8, 9 ].
