METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COORDINATION OF GENERATORS IN DROOP CONTROLLED MICROGRIDS USING HYSTERESIS

摘要

A method and apparatus for autonomously operating a microgrid power generator. In one embodiment the method comprises obtaining a first measurement of at least one grid parameter of a microgrid transmission line coupled to a power generator in a microgrid; comparing the first measurement to a turn-on threshold; initiating when the first measurement is less than the turn-on threshold power generation by the power generator; obtaining after initiation of the energy generation a second measurement of the at least one grid parameter of the microgrid transmission line; comparing the second measurement to a shut-down threshold that is greater than the turn-on threshold; and stopping when the second measurement exceeds the shut-down threshold the power generation by the power generator.
