Abstract

In the case of sensitive and critical load, the distributed generation (DG) should supply continuous power, even in the condition of utility outage. This paper proposes a novel seamless transfer control strategy, which based on special master and slave DGs. The master DG unit is controlled by a novel control strategy, which combines indirect current control and droop control. A part of slave DGs are controlled as conventional current sources based on PQ control, which are named as Slave-Type1. Another part of slave DGs are controlled based on PQ control and droop control, which are named as Slave-Type2. When the islanding is confirmed, the control block of Slave-Type2 DGs will transfer from PQ control to droop control. The advantages of this proposed strategy and microgrid structure are as follows. Firstly, the quality of critical load voltage can be maintained when utility outage occurs, Secondly, the reliability of microgrid in islanding mode can be improved because of the existence of multiple master DGs. The simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of this proposed control method.
