Part B: Droop Control & Mathematical Modeling (20 Marks)

Question 2: Active Power Frequency Droop Calculation


A distributed power inverter operates under standard active power droop control governed by the relation:

f − f0 = −mp (P − P0)

Given the nominal parameters:

• Nominal Frequency (f ) = 50.0 Hz


0
• Nominal Power Setpoint (P ) = 100 kW
0
• Droop Coefficient (m ) = 0.0002 Hz/kW
p

Task: Calculate the operational bus frequency (f) when the local load suddenly increases to P = 180 kW.

Question 3: Secondary Control Function


Explain why the frequency droop mechanism in Question 2 leads to a steady-state frequency error under load
variation. Briefly describe how Secondary Control acts to restore nominal grid frequency without causing
power circulating currents.

Part C: Islanding Detection & Re-Synchronization (20 Marks)

Question 4: Non-Detection Zone (NDZ) Analysis


Compare Passive Islanding Detection methods (e.g., OUV, OUF, ROCOF) against Active Islanding
Detection methods (e.g., active frequency drift). Why do active methods minimize the Non-Detection Zone
(NDZ)?

Question 5: Re-Synchronization Verification
A static transfer switch (STS) is preparing to re-connect an islanded microgrid to the main utility grid. State the
three threshold parameters that must be satisfied before closing the switch, and write down the corresponding
mathematical inequalities.
