Get StartedAbstract: This article compares two strategies for seamless (re)connection of grid-forming inverters to a microgrid powered by droop-controlled inverters. While an incoming inverter must be synced to the microgrid, seamless syncing and power-sharing are technical challenges for grid-forming inverters.
An inverter-based MG consists of micro-sources, distribution lines and loads that are connected to main-grid via static switch. The inverter models include variable frequencies as well as voltage amplitudes. In an inverter-based microgrid, grid-connected inverters are responsible for maintaining a stable operating point [112, 113].
While an incoming inverter must be synced to the microgrid, seamless syncing and power-sharing are technical challenges for grid-forming inverters. In the first strategy, called the output-sync method, an incoming inverter is synced to the microgrid, and then the circuit breaker is closed for power-sharing.
Today, we have more and more renewable energy sources—photovoltaic (PV) solar and wind—connected to the grid by power electronic inverters. These inverter-based resources (IBRs) do not have the same characteristics as SGs, such as inertia and high fault current. This mismatch has not been a problem until now.
Step changes in the inverter’s reference power show the strategy’s quick adaptation to reactive power demands, while maintaining a stable active power supply. Furthermore, active power control disconnects the BESS when it approaches its lower SoC limit in a near-depleted battery scenario.
This mismatch has not been a problem until now. Inverters have assumed that the grid is strong and will provide a stable and clean voltage and that they are able to inject real power into the grid without undue impact on its operation. The electric power grid is in transition.
