Abstract

A droop-based reactive power control strategy is proposed in this study which can be used in autonomous low voltage microgrids. The proposed method exploits the potentials of adding a dynamic virtual inductance loop to compensate the voltage drops caused by linear impedance. Moreover, it offers a large virtual inductance at the output terminals of a distributed generation (DG) source to eliminate the coupling between active and reactive powers. Finally, efficiency of the proposed method in coping with the mentioned challenges is examined using comprehensive simulation studies.
