Microgrid Pre-Synchronization Scheme for Suppressing Voltage Fluctuations and Avoiding Frequency Out-of-Limits

Abstract

Pre-synchronization control is needed when the microgrid changes from an off-grid state to a grid-connected state. Aiming to resolve the problems of frequency overstep and voltage fluctuation in traditional pre-synchronous grid-connection schemes, a micro-grid pre-synchronous grid-connection scheme is proposed that can solve both frequency overstep and voltage fluctuation at the same time. Firstly, the feedforward disturbance compensation V/f control strategy of the load voltage and current is introduced to the energy storage system to suppress voltage fluctuations caused by power changes. Then, the V/f control strategy of the energy storage system is improved to suppress voltage fluctuations caused by frequency fluctuations when the starting phase of pre-synchronization is enacted. Finally, PI parameters are optimized based on the golden jackal optimization algorithm to meet the requirements of frequency fluctuation and grid-connection speed in the pre-synchronization process. A large number of simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
