Detailed Documentation

This technology enables droop control implementation for distributed generation units in microgrids through a comprehensive triple-loop control strategy. The control architecture allows nodes to dynamically operate as either V/f (voltage and frequency control) nodes or PQ (active and reactive power control) nodes based on system requirements. The triple-loop control typically consists of an outer power loop, middle voltage/current loop, and inner current control loop, ensuring stable operation of distributed energy resources within the microgrid ecosystem. This approach enhances microgrid reliability and operational efficiency by implementing sophisticated control algorithms that maintain system stability under varying load conditions. The triple-loop strategy significantly improves power source response speed and stability through coordinated PID controllers and advanced modulation techniques, better accommodating dynamic power load demands. From an implementation perspective, the control system utilizes real-time power calculations and frequency droop characteristics (P-f and Q-V curves) to achieve proper power sharing among distributed generators. Furthermore, this technology contributes to reduced energy waste and improved energy utilization efficiency by optimizing power flow distribution and implementing adaptive droop coefficients, thereby supporting the advancement of sustainable energy systems. The code implementation typically involves mathematical modeling of droop characteristics, power calculation modules, and switching logic between V/f and PQ control modes based on grid conditions.
