Abstract
This paper presents a way to achieve an improvement in
the quality of power within the microgrid customers /
load and also in the quality of currents flowing between
the microgrid and the utility grid with the use of power
quality compensator (PQC) with the master unit (battery
storage + inverter) of the microgrid. PQC consists of a
shunt and a series inverter. The PSCAD simulations done
in this paper are done to find out if this kind PQC could
act as a part of this master unit and which
inverter/converter operation mode is needed to ensure
frequency (and voltage) balance in islanded microgrid.
Studied urban LV network microgrid consists of three
different kind of distributed generation (DG) units: the
master unit with PQC, inverter unit (Fuel cell) and one
permanent magnet (PM) synchronous generator equipped with
frequency converter.
