Abstract

Droop control guarantee frequency regulation and power sharing among the inverters in an islanded microgrid, however, frequency deviations are introduced respect to reference values. When an aditional distributed generator base on inverters is connected to the microgrid, such deviations are reduced and the power capacity of the system is improved; same way happens when islanded microgrids are interconnected. Droop control has shown to be effective in inverter based microgrids, however, when one or more synchronous generators are directly connected to the microgrid the conditions of the controller change. To analaize what happen when islanded microgrids are interconected different cases are considered: first when both microgrid are based only in inverters and other case in which one microgrid has at least one synchronous generator. In this way, the simulation results show the regulation frequency improvements using the inertia increase of networked microgrids.
