Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) systems are prone to faults, such as source open circuit (SOC) faults. SOC faults can cause significant voltage imbalances, which can lead to system instability and even damage to the DG equipment. I this paper, we present a novel circuit that can compensate for the effects of SOC faults in DG systems. The proposed circuit is based on a combination of a current source and a voltage source, and it is designed to regulate the voltage at the DG terminals under SOC fault conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed circuit can effectively compensate for the effects of SOC faults and improve the stability of the DG system.
Keywords: Distributed generation, source open circuit fault, voltage regulation, compensation circuit.
