Effect Of The Reporting Rate Of Synchrophasor Measurements For Distributed Secondary Control Of Ac Microgrid

The distributed control of islanded AC microgrids is based on the local measurements of the electrical variables at some nodes of the system to perform the secondary control. The Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) guarantee accurate synchronized measurements that can be used as input signals for such distributed controllers. This paper analyzes the effect of one of the characteristic parameters of the PMU, the reporting rate, on the control performance. Verifying that could allow the use of low cost measurement devices with the aim of implementing the monitoring and control of low voltage microgrids.
