Abstract:
Evolutionary changes in the regulatory and operational climate of traditional electric
utilities and the emergence of smaller generating systems such as microturbines have opened
new opportunities for on-site power generation by electricity users in the form of Distributed
Energy Resources (DER) - small power generators typically located at users’ sites. The
significant potential of smaller DER to meet customers’ and utilities’ needs can be best
captured by organizing these resources into MicroGrids. Although technical barriers
discourage it, the MicroGrid could serve as a small source of power or ancillary services. In
order to reduce the technical constraints, various control strategies are designed to sync the
power quality and reliability of Microgrids with those of conventional grids.
This dissertation has been created to analyze the effect of droop constant and integral
gain on the two DG system and therefore determine the procedure for finding the controller
parameters. The controller is then designed for this two DG system and its effectiveness is
checked by using Simulink/MATLAB
