Autonomous Operation of Low Voltage Microgrids
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article describes the possibilities of LV microgrids operation in the island mode. Control strategies of energy sources connected to the grid by means of invertors are discussed, either for a microgrid connected to the supplying network or during the island mode operation. The presented results of research were conducted at the Laboratory of Distributed Generation at Lodz University of Technology. The study was performed for two variants of reference voltage source: the battery storage and microturbine respectively.
