Abstract

This paper proposes a new control algorithm for optimally reshaping distributed generation (DG) output impedance so that the system damping and bandwidth are maximized. Such impedance reshaping is essential for managing variations in grid impedance and changes in DG operating conditions. The proposed control algorithm involves two design stages. First, the multivariable DG output impedance is derived mathematically. The grid impedance is also estimated to formulate the impedance stability criterion. Second, a multi-objective programming is formulated to maximize the system damping and bandwidth. Real-time simulations are performed to investigate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control algorithm.
