Abstract

To address the power sharing accuracy problem caused by mismatched line impedances in a real distributed microgrid with dispersed sources and loads, a decentralized solution based on the injection of an extra small AC signal into the output voltage of each inverter is proposed in this paper. Without the aid of communication links, appropriate virtual impedances could be obtained to compensate the mismatched line impedances in full frequency range, and hence the active, reactive, unbalanced and harmonic powers could be shared accurately among parallel inverters under various load conditions. Moreover, the proposed method also considers the impact of complex line impedances, and this makes it a promising strategy in practical microgrid applications. Finally, a comprehensive case is provided to validate its effectiveness.
