Proactive Power Compensation Strategy of Pulsed Load for Transient Ride-Through of Ship Microgrid

A proactive power compensation strategy applicable to achieving transient ride-through of ship microgrid (SM) under pulsed load is presented in this paper. The essence of this strategy can be summarized as the generator enters a transient process when a large portion of the pulsed load is connected to the islanded microgrid. Next, the pulsed load power is calculated and predicted over a 20 ms time scale based on the changes in stator current, stator voltage, excitation current and excitation voltage during the process. As a result, the predicted power is used as the control desired value of the compensation device to ensure that the microgrid recovers the power balance and achieves transient ride-through. Finally, the proposed control strategy not only replaces the one machine infinite bus (OMIB) with the transient model of the SG but also utilizes the energy storage device to actively guide the generator to output the differential power in the microgrid. The power response time of the compensation system is in the range of 6–20 ms, which is able to realize the transient ride-through of the SG within one cycle.
