Abstract

This research paper presents a novel droop control strategy for sharing the load among three independent converter power systems in a microgrid. The proposed method employs a machine learning algorithm based on regression trees to regulate both the system frequency and terminal voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). The aim is to ensure seamless transitions between different modes of operation and maintain the load demand while distributing it among the available sources. To validate the performance of the proposed approach, the paper compares it to a traditional proportional integral (PI) controller for controlling the dynamic response of the frequency and voltage at the PCC. The simulation experiments conducted in MATLAB/Simulink show the effectiveness of the regression tree machine learning algorithm over the PI controller, in terms of the step response and harmonic distortion of the system. The results of the study demonstrate that the proposed approach offers an improved stability and efficiency for the system, making it a promising solution for microgrid operations.
