This paper proposes a new Coordinated Voltage Control (CVC) method with Reactive Power Management Scheme (RPMS) for a Hybrid Micro-grid (MG). The CVC scheme, based on synchronizing the response speeds of different voltage regulating devices, is coordinated with a novel Reactive Power Management Scheme (RPMS). Two cases, with and without proposed CVC, were simulated in the PSCAD/EMTDC environment and compared against each other. The case with proposed CVC shows superior performance, when tested for fault triggered islanding, intentional islanding and MG internal fault. Further, the proposed CVC with RPMS is compared to a voltage regulation method present in literature. The proposed CVC with RPMS provides better voltage regulation, maximizes the fast dynamic reactive power reserve, and improves the transient response and transient stability margin of the Hybrid Micro-Grid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
