EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF CONSUMER UNBALANCE AND NONLINEARITY EFFECTS IN THREE-PHASE NETWORKS WITHOUT NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR

The present study proposes a feedforward angle droop strategy based on a discrete-time mathematical model for operation dispatchable distributed generation (DG) units connected directly or through voltage source converters (VSC) to the microgrid. These units should supply their local and common loads. Droop coefficients should be increased to improve power division between different DG units. Also, a time delay in systems’ state variables and controller input is a disruptive parameter for the control system's performance. These two parameters have negative effects on network stability. To ensure the stability of the closed-loop system, a predictive sliding mode controller can be used based on discrete-time systems. However, this strategy cannot reduce the chattering phenomenon. This paper discusses the effect of time delay and increases in droop angle coefficients on the whole system and how these impacts can be eliminated. So, a combination of integral sliding mode controller (ISMC), composite nonlinear feedback (CNF), and sliding mode learning control (SMC), which is called hybrid SMC, is used with an angle droop controller.
