Sumario:The power calculation is an indispensable element in droop-controlled inverters because the bandwidth of the measured power has a direct impact on the controller performance. This paper proposes a fast and accurate power calculation algorithm based on the combined Second Order Generalized Integrator (SOGI) filters in stationary coordinates for a three-phase system, which takes into consideration the use of nonlinear loads. The power calculation scheme is formed by the two-stage SOGI filters that are employed for obtaining the active and reactive powers required to perform a droop-based inverter operation, respectively. From the two-stage structure, the first SOGI is used as a band-pass filter (BPF) for filtering harmonics and obtaining the fundamental current of the nonlinear load; The second SOGI is used as a low-pass filter (LPF) for extracting the DC-component, which corresponds with the average power. A small-signal model of a two droop-controlled inverters system is built to obtain the dynamical response and stability margin of the system. And compared it with the dynamical behaviour of a standard droop-control method. Next, the proposed power calculation system is designed in order to achieve the same ripple amplitude voltage as that obtained with the standard droop-control method by adjusting the bandwidth gains. Through simulation and hardware in the loop (HIL) validation, the proposed approach presents a faster and more accurate performance when sharing nonlinear loads, and also drives the inverters’ output voltage with lower distortion.
