Abstract

The micro grids focus on the islanded mode of the micro grid with the control strategies for both the DG units and the active loads. The Dg unit’s uses voltage-based droop controllers for power balancing and sharing b/w multiple units. These controllers provide the primary control in the islanded micro grid without communications, which increase the reliability of the system The droop controller is based n the mainly resistive line parameters of the low voltage micro grid and lack of rotating inertia. The paper focuses on the islanded operation of the micro grid, with the control strategies for both the DG units and active load. The DG unit use voltage-based droop controller for power balancing and sharing between multiple units. The controller provides the primary control in the islanded micro grid without communication which increase the reliability of the system. An active load control strategy integrated in the micro grid can offer the needed flexibility and change the current load following control to a more generation following strategy, which burdens the DG units less and avoids frequently changing the power of the renewable energy sources from their optimal operating point.
