Abstract

This paper explores the use of a dynamic virtual impedance approach to load sharing as an alternative to the more generic droop load sharing scheme for low-voltage islanded micro-grids. The approach is based on taking advantage of the power decoupling capability of the virtual impedance scheme to fa...
