State-space model of an inverter-based micro-grid

Abstract

In order to describe the micro-grid and its dynamic performance more accurately, the state space models for the micro-grid components and systems have been developed in this paper. Considering about the interaction between inverters and effectiveness of dynamic networks, the state-space model of micro-grid including parallel voltage-controlled inverters has been proposed. Droop control has been adopted in micro-grid to automatically share power and regulate output voltage of parallel voltage-controlled inverters (VCIs) in micro-grids. The dynamic characteristics of the sources, distribution lines and control have been integrated in the developed state space model. The model focus on the detail of the control loops of the inverter but not the switching actions. The state-space model of micro-grid has been verified using Matlab/Simulink simulations.
