Abstract:
The increasing use of distributed energy resources has motivated the development of microgrid systems to improve the reliability of electric power distribution systems. However, as microgrids become more complex, there is an increased occurrence of instabilities. This research investigates fractional order proportional-integral (FOPI) control technique implemented in a decentralized manner to stabilize the voltage levels throughout a microgrid system. The resulting controller design would be synchronized into a grid system forming a smart grid. A method for linearizing an islanded microgrid system is presented. To validate the proposed control algorithm, MATLAB simulation is used and the FOPI is compared to a conventional PI controller design. The proposed controller design method demonstrates improved stability performance and enhanced response to regulate the power flow and current conduction levels throughout the system.
