Abstract
As the interconnection of renewable-energy-based distributed generations (DGs) to the distribution system increases, the local and temporary voltage and current problems, which are difficult to resolve with the existing operation method, are becoming serious. In this study, we propose a short-term operational method that can effectively resolve voltage and current violations caused by instantaneous output fluctuations of DGs in a system with a high hosting capacity of renewable energy sources. To achieve the objectives, a modified heuristic network reconfiguration method, and a method determining the maximum power output limit of individual DGs are proposed. We propose a cooperative method for controlling the power output fluctuations of renewable-energy-based DGs, which includes voltage control, network reconfiguration, and power curtailment. The proposed algorithm was verified through case studies by using a test system implemented in MATLAB environments. It can effectively resolve violations caused by DGs while minimizing the number of switching operations and power curtailment. The proposed method is an appropriate operation method to be applied to the real system as it can cope with the instantaneous output fluctuation of DGs, which was not dealt with in the existing operation method.

Abstract
As much wind power is integrated into the power grid through power electronic equipment, the use of wind power is increased rapidly. Wind power system makes the power grid lack inertia and damping, thereby reducing power grid stability; in severe cases, it may even be disconnected. virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has been put forward to enhance the anti-disturbance performance of power grid. However, conventional VSG adopts an outer power loop and inner-current loop control. The inner-current loop control needs a pulse width modulation (PWM) module and proportion integration (PI) parameter settings. In order to reduce the parameter settings and simplify control structures, in this study, model predictive control (MPC) is used instead of inner-current loop control. At the same time—for the overall stability and control flexibility of the back-to-back system—we further propose to use outer-voltage loop control (OVLC) and MPC to stabilize direct current (DC) voltage on the machine-side and to employ model predictive virtual synchronous controls to provide inertia and damping for the power grid. The proposed control method was simulated in Matlab/Simulink (MathWorks, Massachusetts, MA, 2016) and verified by experimental results.
