Three-Phase Steady-State Models of Distributed Generators with Different
Control Strategies
Abstract
This paper proposes three-phase steady-state models for distributed
generators (DGs) with different negative control strategies. An
augmented rectangular load flow method is used for three-phase
distribution systems. For two types of DGs with power electronic
devices: photovoltaic power generators and doubly-fed induction
generators, the nodal voltage equations and output power equations are
derived. Moreover, under unbalanced conditions, the strategies for
mitigating the effects caused by negative sequence components are
formulated as functions of the nodal voltage and the injected current.
Furthermore, the models are incorporated into an augmented rectangular
load flow method with nodal voltage and injected current as state
variables in three-phase systems. Case studies are conducted to verify
the correctness and accuracy of the proposed models by comparing the
results obtained from MATLAB and PSCAD.
