An Improved Passivity-Based Control for Inverter-Based Microgrids

Resumen: In this paper, we focus on the primary control of inverter-based microgrids. The controller consists of the interconnection of two passivity-based controllers, one that adds a virtual impedance and another that achieves voltage regulation. The equal power-sharing is reached with the addition of a droop-type controller. Numerical evaluations show the performance of the proposed control algorithm.
