  • Abstract
    In this paper, a method is proposed to control the power flow in islanded microgrids. The problem of an oscillating power flow is described and a damping effect is introduced by proposing a control method to suppress the oscillation. The method is extended to develop a novel droop control technique for a proper power sharing among the sources. The method is proven to be effective through simulation analysis.
