Abstract :
A novel real time approach structure implementation to manage multiple sources and/or generator systems on supporting the global load, in case of charge and functioning disturbances is proposed. Its applicability is validated on a control structure of two and four constant and variable load sources (with parallel connection), a situation usually encountered these days in the renewable energy branch (micro hydropower plant, wind, solar and other small power generators), Virtual Power Plant (VPP), or micro/smart grid.
