Figure 2.2 <strong>Power</strong> vs. Frequency Droop.<br />

In isl<strong>and</strong> mode the microgrid is operating at a lower frequency, ω1, than the utility system. The<br />

microsource injects the full quota <strong>of</strong> power to provide the load <strong>and</strong> the grid injects zero power<br />

since it is disconnected. After reconnection the microsource injects power according to the<br />

requested comm<strong>and</strong>, while the grid injects the remaining quota to meet the load dem<strong>and</strong>. So, it is<br />

apparent that after synchronization, in steady state the power flows from the source that had high<br />

frequency (grid) during the isl<strong>and</strong> mode towards the source that had lower frequency<br />

(microgrid). It is less obvious to underst<strong>and</strong> why the same principle rules the behavior <strong>of</strong> the<br />

steady state power when two microsources are connected while in isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />

Figure 2.3 shows the case when two microsources are connected in isl<strong>and</strong>. Each microsource was<br />

operating in isl<strong>and</strong> from the grid on beforeh<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> after connection the two sources are<br />

interconnected, but still, in isl<strong>and</strong> from the utility system.<br />

Figure 2.3 Isl<strong>and</strong> Connection <strong>of</strong> Two Microsources, A has Higher Frequency than B.<br />

This is the situation that can be encountered during a reconnection procedure <strong>of</strong> microgrid<br />

sections after they all have been disconnected from each other <strong>and</strong> the grid because <strong>of</strong> a nearby<br />
