Transient Response Analysis of Inverter-Based Microgrids Under Unbalanced Conditions Using a Dynamic Phasor Model

摘要

Microgrids (MGs) are often unbalanced due to the integration of single-phase generators, unbalanced loads, and asymmetrical faults. To better analyze such MGs, this paper presents an approach to analyze the transient response for an inverter-based MG under the unbalanced condition. The dynamic phasor (DP) concept is used for the MG modeling under the stationaryabcreference frame. First, the DP model of the inverter-based distributed generation (DG) is developed. The influence of unbalanced conditions on the inverter including oscillations on the dc side is considered in this paper. Then, the model of the network and loads is developed. Finally, all the submodules are combined on a time-variable system frequency to obtain the complete DP model of the unbalanced MG. To validate the proposed approach, the DP method is applied to an MG test system with three-phase and single-phase DGs. Small-signal analysis is carried out to derive the dominant modes and their influence on the system response. Simulation results from the DP model are compared against the detailed model built in MATLAB/SimPowerSystem. The results from load disturbances and asymmetrical faults are used to verify the DP model.
