State Of Charge Balancing Droop Control, Rui Hu Jan 2015

State Of Charge Balancing Droop Control, Rui Hu

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open

This thesis presents a load sharing method applied in a distributed micro grid system. The goal of this method is to balance the state-of-charge (SoC) of each parallel connected battery and make it possible to detect the average SoC of the system by measuring bus voltage for all connected modules. In this method the reference voltage for each battery converter is adjusted by adding a proportional SoC factor. Under such setting the battery with a higher SoC will output more power, whereas the one with lower SoC gives out less. Therefore the higher SoC battery will use its energy faster …

Stability Preservation And Power Management In Autonomous Microgrids Using Adaptive Nonlinear Droop Scheme, Sara Nourollah, Abolfazl Pirayesh, Poria Astero

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes sharing active and reactive power in autonomous voltage source inverter (VSI)-based microgrids with no physical communication links. In decentralized VSI-based microgrids, when the demand or generation changes, the output voltage of distributed generation units and the frequency of the system will also change. This study presents a novel adaptive nonlinear droop (ANLD) scheme for preserving network stability, improving the system's dynamics, and controlling power sharing in multibus microgrids in a decentralized manner. Subcontrollers are modeled in a state space and combined together so that a complete dynamic model of the network can be developed. Note that controller …
