This thesis discusses local and supervisory control strategies, and requirements for mirogrids. A robust hierarchical control structure that allows smooth transitions of the microgrid between the grid-connected and islanded mode is proposed.
In order to operate a microgrid in islanded mode, a centralized supervisory control structure is presented that is composed of a simple Decentralized Energy Resources (DER) coordination logic, the aforementioned local controllers, a voltage controller, and an open-loop frequency controller.
To perform studies on the proposed control structures, the simulation tool PSCAD/EMTDC was used to evaluate the controller performance. Verification in a real-time digital simulator confirms the findings. The proposed control strategies appear to be robust which suggests their applicability for a use in microgrid structures.
Additionally, first explorations of a novel coordinated control structure for direct current (DC)-microgrids were performed on PSCAD/EMTDC.
