This work proposes a power management and control strategy for islanded microgrids, which consist of multiple electronically-interfaced distributed energy resource (DER) units, to achieve a prescribed load sharing scheme. This strategy provides 1) a power management system, 2) DER local controllers, and 3) a frequency control and synchronization scheme. This strategy is then generalized to incorporate both power-controlled and voltage-controlled DER units. To prevent DER unit trip-out or damage under short-circuit conditions, an overcurrent/overload protection scheme is also proposed. Under...
