Improved P-F/Q-V And P-V/Q-F Droop Controllers For

Parallel Distributed Generation Inverters In AC Microgrid
ABSTRACT:
Distributed generation inverters are generally operated in parallel with P-f/Q-V and P-V/Q-f
droop control strategies. Due to mismatched resistive and inductive line impedance, power
sharing and output voltage of the parallel DG inverters deviate from the reference value. This
leads to instability in the microgrid system. Adding virtual resistors and virtual inductors in the
control loop of droop controllers improve the power sharing and stability of operation. But, this
leads to voltage drop. Therefore, an improved P-f/Q-V and P-V/Q-f droop control is proposed.
Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control and the selection of parameters enhance
the output voltage of inverters.

CONCLUSION:
In this paper, analysis of improved P-f/Q-V and P-V/Q-f droop control with secondary control
for DG parallel inverters in microgrid is proposed considering line and output impedance.
Proportional integral controller is adopted to ensure accurate tracking of the output voltage of the
inverter to the reference value and the influence of the controller parameters on the voltage
closed loop transfer function and the equivalent output impedance of the inverter is analyzed. In
order to match the total output impedance of the inverter and line impedance in parallel, the P-
V/Q-f and P-f/Q-V droop control strategy based on the inductive and resistive virtual impedance
is adopted to improve the total output impedance of the inverter through the virtual impedance.
The proposed P-f/Q-V and P-V/Q-f droop control, adaptively compensates the virtual resistor
and inductor voltage drop to improve output voltage amplitude accuracy to the reference value.
