Research on Switching Model of Microgrid with Distributed Power Supply

Abstract

The hybrid microgrid with distributed power supply which includes wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV) inverter and power converter system (PCS), not only could be connected to the power distribution network, but also can operate independently. It is realized switch from grid-connected mode to off-grid mode through the microgrid controller. Whether the microgrid can achieve smooth switching from grid-connected to off-grid has great influence on the safety and stability of the power grid. In order to accurately evaluate the influence of the microgrid switch to the distribution network, it is needed to research on the distributed source modeling technology, and establish an accurate microgrid model. In this paper, using a 400V voltage grade microgrid system with PV, WT and PCS as an example, model the internal equipment and the microgrid control system, and establish a microgrid model for simulation. At the meantime, it carries out the microgrid switch testing, and compare with the measured waveform to verify the accuracy of the model. It is confirmed the accuracy of the microgrid model by the contrast result.
