Abstract

This paper represents a resilient off-grid mobile energy solution for remote areas use a solar-battery hybrid microgrid. A decentralized droop-control parallel inverter architecture is modified to ensure autonoums power sharing, voltage stability and frequency regulation without communication links. This research mainly used on Uttarakhand, Auli to shows reliable operation under high loads and transient synchronization sectors.
