This paper presents the stability analysis for an inverter based Distributed Generation (DG) unit in an autonomous microgrid operation. The small-signal model of the controlled Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) system is developed in order to investigate the dynamic stability for the given operating point and under the proposed power controller. This model includes all the details of the proposed controller, while no switching actions are considered. System oscillatory modes and the sensitivity to the control parameters are the main performance indices which are considered, particularly when the microgrid is islanded or under the load change condition. In this work, the …

Efficient utilisation of Storage Devices (SD) among multiple sources of dispatch within a typical microgrid have a substantial impact on reducing the economic and environmental generation costs in that particular microgrid. Eventually, managing the multiple sources that supply energy simultaneously is a big engineering challenge. The complexity rises due the uncertainty of demand, generation cost, availability of renewable energy sources and (charging/discharging) time and price for the installed SD. This paper introduces a utilisation method that makes the SD more efficient in supplying the electricity within a typical medium size enterprise microgrid. The method is simply targeting the dynamic charging …
