Join us for the webinar on Microgrid Control: Distributed Frequency Control of Inertia-Less AC Microgrids
This webinar discusses the problem of frequency regulation in islanded AC microgrids with no inertia, i.e., those consisting entirely of generators interfaced through power electronics. The control architecture we propose to achieve this is designed to drive the average frequency error to zero while ensuring that the frequency at every bus is equal and that the operating point that results is stable. We also introduce a distributed implementation of the proposed control architecture that relies on a combination of several distributed algorithms. Collectively, these algorithms eliminate the need for a centralized entity with complete knowledge of the network, its topology, or the capabilities or properties of the generators and loads therein. Moreover, the distributed implementation we propose relies on minimal measurements, requiring only that the power injection at each bus be measured.
The webinar is hosted by Matt Baker, Director of Microgrids and Critical Power at Typhoon HIL and our key speaker is Prof. Alejandro Dominguez-Garcia from University Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Alejandro D. Dominguez-García is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is affiliated with the Power and Energy Systems area. Also within ECE Illinois, he has been a Grainger Associate since 2011, and a William L. Everitt Scholar since 2017. He is also an Associate Research Professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory and in the Information Trust Institute, both at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
