Abstract :
This paper presents a voltage-independent control method for an active load (AL), which is designed for integration in microgrids with the main purpose of frequency control. Ideally, the AL should behave like a controllable linear current sink whose active power is independent of the input voltage. The proposed AL approaches the aforementioned conditions by combining a robust hardware structure with an optimized control method for this kind of applications.
