Abstract

When an islanding condition caused by an unintentional single-line to ground fault occurs in an active distribution network with distributed generation, the frequency stability and protection issues remain challenging. Therefore, this paper presents the under frequency protection enhancement of the active distribution network using a virtual inertia-controlled-battery energy storage system to improve the frequency stability under the islanding condition caused by unintentional faults. The virtual inertia control is designed based on the direct and quadrature axis-controlled battery energy storage system to generate the virtual inertia power, compensating the system’s inertia to enhance the stability margin. The proposed method is verified by the simulation results that reveal the frequency stability performance and the under-frequency load shedding enhancement of the study active distribution network in Thailand. The study is divided into two cases: the normal control parameters and the parameter uncertainty scenarios, compared with a power-frequency droop control. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed virtual inertia control can effectively improve the frequency and transient stabilities in the islanding condition, diminishing the number of loads disconnected by the proposed under-frequency load shedding scheme.
