1. ANALYSIS OF LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATION IN
AUTONOMOUS MICROGRID WITH STATIC AND
DYNAMIC LOAD
Presented by-Godwin Lobo

2. INTRODUCTION
The concept of microgrid is gaining high momentum as enabling
structure to integrate renewable and distributed energy resources in
power networks. Moreover, the distinctive autonomous operational
capability of microgrids has brought in higher reliability measures in
supplying power demands when the utility grid is not available.
The majority of distributed/renewable generation (DG) units are
interfaced to the network by voltage source converter (VSCs). One well
established approach for autonomous microgrid operation is droop
control.

3. MOTIVATION OF MICROGRID
1. Accurate current control performance with a strong ability of
rejecting the grid distortion and voltage disturbances caused by
interfacing parameters mismatch and compensating for inverter
system delays.
2. Insensitivity to distribution system and ac side filter parameters.
3. Grid voltage sensorless operation with function fusion to reduce
system cost and increase the accuracy and reliability.
4. Fast voltage control performance with strong ability of mitigating
fast and dynamic voltage disturbances.
5. Stable and high power quality microgrid operation along the whole
loading trajectories of microgrid generators.

4. OBJECTIVES MICROGRID
1. To stabilize the microgrid system in the presence of IM loads, a two degree of freedom active
damping controller is proposed to stabilize the newly introduced oscillatory dynamics
2. Development of an interface monitoring unit along with a grid voltage sensorless interfacing
scheme for inverter based DG units.
3. Development of a voltage control system for the DG interface featuring fast load voltage
regulation and effective mitigation of fast and dynamic voltage disturbances.
4. Development of an autonomous control strategy of a microgrid system with effective damping
of low frequency modes.
5. Integration of the developed control algorithms to realize a robust DG interface for gird
connected and microgrid systems.
6. Improve reliability for mission-critical loads by connecting generators on a microgrid using
existing distribution networks.
7. Reduce reliance on fuel for diesel power by using renewable energy sources during outages.

5. NECESSITY OF MICROGRID
1. Utilization of Microgrid can help utilities defer investments in generation and
transmission capacity
2. Microgrid have the potential to offer increased total energy efficiency when used
with combined heat and power (CHP) or combined cooling heat and power, and can
therefore reduce energy costs
3. Appropriately integrated Microgrid can improve power availability and quality
4. Distributed systems offer potential security advantages over centralized systems
5. Microgrid promote fuel diversity (e.g., biomass, landfill gas, flare gas, wind, solar)
and therefore reduce overall energy price volatility
6. Renewable DG such as wind and solar photovoltaics provide emissions-free energy
7. Microgrid offer a quicker solution with regards to installation, lead time and siting
relative to centralized generation.

6. ORGANIZATION

7. PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. Electromechanical rotor oscillations in large IMs couple the rotor speed
oscillations, which are directly coupled to the supply frequency, and the rotor
flux dynamics
2. Unlike the idealized operation of an IM under an infinite-bus condition, in a
typical micro-grid system with IMs, active and reactive power oscillations will
be coupled.
3. The droop gains in a micro-grid system can vary over a considerable range to
optimize the cost and operation aspects of micro-grid via a higher-level
management controller. Therefore, system stability should be guaranteed over a
wide range of droop gain variation.
4.System stability should be also preserved under uncertainty in motor and system
parameters.

8. SYSTEM MODELING

9. The above figure shows the complete control system of a
typical VSC based DG unit, which consists of:
1) Power sharing control which sets the voltage phase and
magnitude for the inverter output voltage according to the
droop settings
2) Voltage control loop to yield close control characteristics of
the output voltage
3) Inner current loop to control the filter inductor current,
limiting the converter current during up normal conditions

41. CONCLUSION
This project addressed low frequency oscillations in converter based microgrids with dynamic
loads. A complete small-signal model of a typical MV microgrid with a typical dynamic load (IM load)
has been developed. Small-signal stability analysis has revealed that the electromechanical rotor
oscillations of large IM is source of lightly damped dynamics (low frequency modes) in MV microgrid
systems yielding to and oscillatory frequency and voltage performance even under conservatively
selected low droop gains.
The large motor type loads, the dominant low frequency microgrid are highly sensitive to the
motor dynamics and droop gains. It is shown that the active power drawn by the induction motor is
highly participating in shaping the lightly damped system. This finding has been used to design a
simple and effective two DOF active damping strategy which is based on remote compensation of the
power swings. The proposed active damping controller introduces transient supplementary power angle
and voltage magnitude signals to effectively damp microgrid frequency and voltage oscillations
without affecting the steady state power sharing characteristics.
The proposed active damping controller shows robust performance under large-signal
microgrid dynamics, such as large variation in motor slip during motor starting, full load torque
step disturbance, and large voltage dips associated with motor starting. Further, the proposed active
damping controller facilitates the use of an extended range of the static droop gains, which is essential
to optimize the economic and technical aspects of microgrid operation at different operating conditions.
A theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results have been presented to validate the
effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
