Abstract
Impedance-based approachis generally studied for stability analysis of the power electronic converter-based system. Considering multiple-frequency coupling effects, in this article, we establish the harmonic transfer function (HTF) based <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">αβ</i> -frame impedance models of droop inverters based islanded microgrid with unbalanced loads. Therein, the HTF-based <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">αβ</i> -impedance modeling methods of unbalanced loads, as well as droop inverters in parallel, are proposed. Afterward, the HTF-based <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">αβ</i> -frame impedance models are equivalent to single-input single-output (SISO) impedances for simpler impedance measurement and stability analysis, preserving the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">αβ</i> -frame coupling and multiple-frequency coupling characteristics. Finally, the experimental measurement results verify the accuracy of the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">αβ</i> -frame SISO impedances. Besides, the stability analysis based on the SISO impedance models accurately reveals low-frequency oscillations of the islanded microgrid with unbalanced loads, further verifying the effectiveness of the SISO impedance models.
