  3. Abstract:
  4. Centralized or decentralized secondary controller is commonly employed to regulate the voltage drop raised by the primary controller. However, in the case of high capacity microgrids (MGs) and long feeders with much voltage drop on the line resistances, the conventional methods may not guarantee the voltage regulation on the load busses within a suitable range. Therefore, in addition to compensate the voltage drop of the primary controller, it is necessary to regulate the voltage of critical loads. In this paper, a new voltage regulation strategy is proposed to regulate the voltage of MG by employing the average voltage of identified critical busses, which are determined by the proposed modal analysis. Numerical steady-state analysis and preliminary simulation results validate effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, experimental results are performed to demonstrate the viability of the proposed approach. © 1972-2012 IEEE
