Due to the increasing necessity for electrical demand, the microgrids (MGs) based on distributed generations (DGs) within power electronic interfaces are being extended to improve the traditional network control. One of the common ways to achieve power sharing among the resources on an islanding MG is to use the droop control approach, performing based on proportional-integrator (PI) controllers. However, due to the effect of feeder impedance, obtaining the reactive power sharing using this method is not accurate and leads to overload in some DGs, resulting in the output terminal voltage of each DG going outside of the allowable range. The second problem arises when the frequency measurement is not performed precisely, leading to inaccurate active power sharing, which can be solved by using an improved phase locked loop (PLL). Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose an applicable and simple approach based on the use of conventional droop characteristics and a proportional-resonant (PR) controller in a DG control system. Due to the load changes in the microgrid and other contingencies, the proposed PLL-based controller is able to represent supreme performance with low error in several case studies.
