Summary: This paper presents an enhanced distributed DC-bus signaling control strategy for converters of photovoltaic systems (PVs) to make the islanded DCMG less dependent on the backup energy storage system (BESS). The proposed control method maintains DC-bus voltage via intelligently managing output powers of the PVs and switches between MPPT and voltage regulating control operations. It effectively protects the DCMG from shutdowns during the absence of the BESS and reduces oscillations on the DC-bus voltage during the presence of the BESS.

Summary: This article presents a novel control scheme for remote negative-sequence voltage fair compensation in a grid-forming inverter-based islanded AC microgrid. The scheme reduces voltage imbalances by adjusting the negative-sequence output voltage of the inverters, achieving two control objectives: voltage reduction at a remote node and fair compensation. The controller features plug-and-play and parallel operation, and requires minimal communication control data.

Summary: Due to the increase in distributed generators, islanding detection has become a prominent aspect in power systems. Accurate threshold determination is crucial for the island detection system to prevent hazardous situations. This study proposes a technique to establish threshold values for under and over frequency island conditions based on PMU data. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively detect unintentional islanding in a timely manner.

Summary: Traditional fault location methods using voltage and current measurement on the medium-voltage (MV) side are costly and complicated. This paper proposes a fault location method based on distributed measurement at the low-voltage (LV) side. By analyzing voltage distribution rules and the influence of distribution transformers, differences in voltage variations for different faults are found. A fault location method based on characteristic voltage at the LV side is proposed, where characteristic voltage is adaptively selected and the fault segment is located based on characteristic current. This method can be applied with existing LV measurement equipment, providing an economical and practical solution for fault location in distribution networks.
