Controller Development of an Asynchronous Microgrid Power Conditioning System (PCS) Converter Considering Grid Requirements

Asynchronous microgrid with PCS converter is a new microgrid concept with potentially better performance compared to conventional microgrid. In this paper, a PCS converter controller is designed and tested fully considering different grid requirements including different microgrid operation modes as well as normal and fault grid conditions. The controller architecture and functions are presented. The developed controller is tested on a scaled converter-based hardware test-bed.
