Talk Title: Comparing Voltage Source Converter Control Strategies for Microgrid Applications
Slides: 3-3.ppt
Abstract: This project involves the simulation and verification through physical implementation of a voltage-control strategy for VSC-interfaced microsources connected in a microgrid configuration. The voltage control strategy is able to handle faults as well as the ride-through transition between grid-connected and islanded mode. A more conventional current control approach (hybrid approach) will also be implemented for direct comparison purposes.
