Abstract

ABSTRACT:Â Microgrids are used as controllable units connected to power grid, in which the electrical distances between reactive power sources and the loads that need the reactive compensation are not too much. Thus, a coordinated compensation of reactive sources has to be implemented in order to avoid a fast voltage collapse by proposing a Microgrid Voltage Stabilizer (MGVS). This stabilizer is desirable to improve the dynamic voltage profile and is tested at a 21-bus IEEE microgrid system. In order to verify the performance of this stabilizer, three distributed generation (DG) resources are utilized in this microgrid (Two PV resources which are categorized as power-electronic converter based on DG and a diesel generator which is known as synchronous machine-based on DG). At first, the mentioned resources and all of their needed equipments are modeled. Then a control model of the stabilizer with appropriate parameters for the proposed microgrid is presented. Voltage deficiency of the system is the input of the stabilizer, and the output signal of the stabilizer, is divided between the DGs in order to provide required reactive power. The dynamic voltage profile of buses in the presence of MGVS and its absence has been compared by implying disturbances. Simulation results in MATLAB/SIMULINK show that the dynamic voltage profile of the buses improves satisfactorily with the addition of MGVS.

ABSTRAK: Grid mikro digunakan sebagai unit kawalan yang disambungkan kepada grid kuasa, di mana jarak elektrikal antara sumber kuasa reaktif dan bebanan yang memerlukan kompensasi reaktif tidak terlalu besar.Â Dengan itu, kompensasi yang selaras dengan sumber reaktif perlu diimplimentasikan untuk mengelak kegagalan voltan pantas dengan menggunakan Grid Mikro Penstabil Voltan (Microgrid Voltage Stabilizer - MGVS). Penstabil ini sesuai digunakan untuk meningkatkan profil voltan dinamik dan telah diuji ke atas sistem mikro grid 21-bus IEEE. Untuk memastikan keupayaan penstabil ini, tiga sumber penjanaan agihan (distributed generation - DG) telah digunakan (dua sumber PV yang dikategorikan sebagai pengubah kuasa elektronik berdasarkan DG dan penjana diesel yang dikenali sebagai mesin segerak berasaskan DG). Mulanya, semua sumber dan alatan yang diperlukan, diilustrasikan. Kemudian, satu model penstabil kawalan bersama parameter yang sesuai dengan mikro grid yang dikemukakan. KetakcukupanÂ voltan dalam sistem merupakan input penstabil, isyarat keluaran penstabil kemudiannya dibahagikan antara kesemua DG agar ia dapat menyalurkan kuasa reaktif yang diperlukan. Profil voltan dinamik setiap bus dengan kehadiran MGV dan ketidakhadirannya dibandingkan dengan mengimplikasikan gangguan. Keputusan simulasi menggunakan MATLAB/SIMULINK menunjukkan bahawa profil voltan dinamik setiap bus meningkat pada kadar yang memuaskan dengan kehadiran MGVS.
