Article Description

New control strategies based on Grid-Forming converters make possible the operation of isolated microgrids without the support of synchronous generation. This paper proposes an Energy Management System algorithm that optimizes the operation of a microgrid, maximizing the integration of renewable energy and considering the possibility of disconnecting all synchronous generators. The algorithm is applied to a microgrid modelled with real data and two economic dispatch strategies are analysed: the first requires keeping at least one synchronous generator connected to provide frequency regulation following standard practice; and the second considers the disconnection of all conventional generation relying on the capabilities of Grid-Forming converters when sufficient reserve is available. The results show that the proposed strategy reduces the operational cost of the system, as well as solar PV curtailment and diesel consumption.
