"DC microgrids in buildings and data centers." Telecommunications Energy Conference (INTELEC), 2011 IEEE 33rd International. IEEE, 2011. Control loops applied to connect voltage source inverters (VSI) in parallel in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to avoid mutual control wires while obtaining good power sharing.
Solar cells, fuel cells, batteries, etc., are the energy sources of a DC microgrid to deliver power to loads. To change DC voltages to the rated DC voltage, a buck or boost converter has been utilized in the microgrid. To uphold reference output voltage, a DC-DC converter is controlled by a proportional integral (PI) controller. Figure 1.
Operating the DGs in accordance with the load requirement needs suitable control techniques and power electronic converter selection. Distributed energy sources (DESs), storage units, and electrical loads are all linked to the bus in DC microgrid.
AC microgrids are more popular compared to DC microgrids since the existing power distribution networks are predominantly AC-based. In AC microgrids, the power produced by renewable energy sources is fed to the grid after synchronizing the voltage with the grid voltage to operate in grid-connected mode.
Primary control Power electronic converters are essential components in DC microgrid that provides a controllable interface the sources and load. In a multi-level control system, the primary stage of control is the initial stage of control architecture and is in charge of voltage and current control.
