Abstract

One of the challenges of inverter-based distributed generators (DGs) is to keep the voltage and frequency at their specified limits during transitions between grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. This paper presents an integrated seamless control strategy for inverter-based DGs to ensure smooth transitions between the different modes of operation. The proposed strategy is based on a deep learning neural network (DL-ANN) Proportional-Integral- Derivative (PID) controller to regulate the terminal voltage of the DG interface system. A feed-forward loop is integrated with the proposed strategy to mitigate grid harmonics by controlling the DG inverter to feed the harmonics components of non-linear loads without exceeding its capacity. Results are provided to evaluate the dynamic performance of the proposed unified control strategy under different disturbances. Finally, to demonstrate the superiority of the DL-ANN controller, a comparison is carried out with the conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller and the set-membership affine projection adaptive (SMAPA)-based PI controller.
