| description | This paper presents a distributed consensus-based voltage and frequency control (VFC) strategy for isolated microgrids with distributed energy resources (DERs) and induction motor loads. The proposed controller coordinates the DERs to regulate microgrid frequency and voltage while mitigating fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR), a phenomenon where system voltage remains depressed for several seconds after fault clearance due to induction motor stalling. The VFC loop adjusts DER voltage setpoints based on frequency deviation and voltage level to regulate voltage and mitigate FIDVR events, while the active power control loop maintains frequency stability by coordinating active power sharing among DERs and compensating for the constant power load behavior of stalled induction motors. A proximity-based reactive power support prioritization and a distributed voltage estimator enhance the controller’s response to FIDVR events. Coordination between the VFC and active power control loops is achieved through adaptive gain adjustment and a voltage recovery coordination term. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in maintaining microgrid stability, ensuring fast voltage recovery, and providing robust performance under various operating conditions, including communication delays and different fault durations. |
