Control Schemes For Distribution Grids With Mass Distributed Generation

Abstract

This project discusses the control schemes for distribution grids with a large amount of wind penetration. Microgrids are constantly gaining popularity, especially in the countries, where there is energy crisis. Various systems, including synchronous generators, grid and loads, have been investigated in this project. Major focus is placed on active and reactive power sharing. Droop control for multiple synchronous generators is explored. The phenomenon of load transients has also been reviewed and associated simulations have been carried out on SimPower Systems. Constant wind power has been introduced and behaviour of the electrical system is observed. Behaviour of the system under variable wind has also been analysed. Moreover, recent development projects and previous works, regarding microgrids and distributed generation, have been discussed.
