description A droop controlled microgrid with distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is developed to improve the power quality in this study. Due to the reactive power/voltage Q-V droop characteristic and the existence of the unbalanced, linear inductive and nonlinear loads, the power quality problems, including the voltage drop, unbalanced currents, lagging power factor (PF) and current harmonics, are very serious in the islanded microgrid. Moreover, owing to the instantaneous power following into or out of the DC-link capacitor of the DSTATCOM under load variation, the performance of the DSTATCOM for power quality improvement is seriously degenerated. Hence, to effectively improve the power quality of the droop controlled microgrid and the transient response of the DC-link voltage of the DSTATCOM under load variation, an online trained polynomial petri fuzzy neural network (PPFNN) controller is firstly proposed as the DC-link voltage controller to supersede the conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller in the DSTATCOM. The network structure and the online learning strategy of the proposed PPFNN are detailedly derived. Finally, the effectiveness of the DSTATCOM using the proposed PPFNN controller to improve the unbalanced currents, the total harmonic distortion (THD) reduction of the current and to compensate the reactive power for the voltage support and PF correction in the droop controlled microgrid is certified.
