Smooth switching control strategy for grid-connected and islanding mode of microgrid based on linear active disturbance rejection controller

摘要

As a single controllable unit, microgrid can be grid-connected with utility grid and detached from grid to become a controllable autonomous system. When microgrid is switching between grid-connected mode and islanding mode, it will cause fluctuation of voltage, current and frequency, which will have a certain impact on the load. The stable control in both modes is the basic condition to ensure the reliable operation of microgrid. In this paper, control strategy of grid-connected and islanding mode switching based on the master-slave structure of microgrid system is mainly researched. The proposed method of PQ outer loop controller, V/f outer loop controller and current inner loop controller of the master inverter of microgrid is given. Based on the analysis of the structure of the controller, a mathematic model of the master inverter of the microgrid is established, and a current inner loop controller based on the LADRC (Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control) technique is designed. The presented smooth switching control strategy makes the outer loop controller running in parallel, and the inner loop controller share the improved current inner loop controller. LADRC control structure has strong anti-interference ability, it can effectively inhibit the fluctuations of various parameters, has a good inhibitory effect on the uncertainty of the power grid. The design method is simple and feasible. The simulation results show that the switching range of voltage, current and frequency is small, and the switching process time is less than 20ms, which can achieve stable and smooth switching between microgrid and utility grid.
