Model Predictive Control Based Virtual Inertia Emulator for an Islanded AC Microgrid

Project Code :TEPGPS196

Objective

The main objective of this project is to enhance transient response and robustness of local voltage, as well as inertia emulation for islanded ac MGs.

Abstract

In this project, to realize local voltage regulation and power-sharing of an islanded ac microgrid. a model predictive control based virtual synchronous generator (VSG-MPC) is proposed. An improved finite-set MPC is first proposed for the inner loop, achieving simplified control structure, faster dynamic response, enhanced bandwidth and stability, as well as improved current limitation. 

In the outer control loop, a simplified VSG without a phase-locked loop is employed to realize active power sharing and inertia emulation. The merits above are verified by a description function of MPC and the frequency-domain response of the overall VSG. Simulation results verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

Keywords: Predictive control, voltage source converter, virtual synchronous generator (VSG), microgrid.
