Abstract

A microgrid is a micro-power system composed of local distributed generators, energy storage systems, loads, and other components in a local power network. Because renewable energy sources show relatively large output power variation, the integration of distributed generators in a microgrid often requires the installation of a large-scale energy storage system. The energy storage system is connected to a local AC bus via the DC/AC converter with an output inductor-capacitor (LC) filter. The energy storage system power converters generally form the local AC bus voltage. This grid-forming operation requires fast and robust voltage control to properly maintain a stable energy flow and high power quality in the local AC bus. In this paper, two major voltage control schemes—double-loop control and direct voltage control—are analytically compared, and their effects on the power quality of the microgrid are illustrated. The dynamic performance is compared through simulations and experimental results.
