Abstract

In this paper, the cooperative control strategy of microsources and the energy storage system (ESS) during islanded operation is presented and evaluated by a simulation and experiment. The ESS handles the frequency and the voltage as a primary control. And then, the secondary control in microgrid management system returns the current power output of the ESS into zero. The test results show that the proposed cooperative control strategy can regulate the frequency and the voltage, and the secondary control action can contribute to improve the control capability.
