Abstract

This paper presents the application of a suitable control strategy for multibus microgrid applications. The control strategy, used with each distributed generation system in the microgrid is developed so as to combine the advantages of the current control and the voltage control strategies. The performance of the proposed application in terms of power management has been verified in simulation on a microgrid test.
