Abstract

Isolated microgrid (IMG) power systems face the significant challenge of achieving fast power sharing and stable performance. This paper presents an innovative solution to this challenge through the introduction of a new droop control technique. The conventional droop controller technique used in inverter-based IMG systems is unable to provide satisfactory performance easily, as selecting a high droop controller gain to achieve fast power sharing can reduce the system’s stability. This paper addresses this dilemma by proposing a modified droop control for inverter-based IMGs that effectively dampens low-frequency oscillations, even at higher droop gain values that would typically lead to instability. The design is described step-by-step, and the proposed controller’s effectiveness is validated through time domain simulation analysis. The results demonstrate the significant improvement in stability and fast power sharing achieved with the proposed controller. This innovative technique presents a promising solution for achieving fast power sharing and stable performance in IMG power systems.
