Abstract

Robust control mechanisms are needed in microgrids to ensure voltage source inverters (VSIs) effectively integrate renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into the power network. Current control approaches often have limitations regarding velocity, stability, and robustness. The paper details a newly developed method named Point of Common Coupling Direct Power Control (PCC-DPC) for renewable energy systems connected to the grid. PCC-DPC is used to instantly control voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) inside the microgrid as opposed to other conventional techniques. This leads to a simplified controller design that does not require complex Park transformations and phase-locked loop (PLL) systems, and has a lower computational burden and less power fluctuation in a stable manner. Moreover, this research critically examines power quality phenomena through comparing PCC-DPC with a Vector Current Controller (VCC). Simulations performed on an Opal Re-al-Time simulator showed improved tracking performance and overall system efficiency due to the PCC-DPC approach over others. These results demonstrate that it can effectively be used as one of the most suitable methods for integrating renewable energy into electricity grids, which is reliable in regards to changes in power grid dynamics.
