Decentralized Control for Parallel Operation of Distributed Generation Inverters Using Resistive Output Impedance

In this paper, a novel wireless load-sharing controller for islanding parallel inverters in an ac-distributed system is proposed. This paper explores the resistive output impedance of the parallel-connected inverters in an island microgrid. The control loops are devised and analyzed, taking into account the special nature of a low-voltage microgrid, in which the line impedance is mainly resistive and the distance between the inverters makes the control intercommunication between them difficult. In contrast with the conventional droop-control method, the proposed controller uses resistive output impedance, and as a result, a different control law is obtained. The controller is implemented by using a digital…
