My name is Wanderson. I live and Minas Gerais/Brazil and I have two beautiful daughters. I graduated in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in the Catholic University of Minas Gerais in 2000. I received a Master's and PhD degree in Electrical Engineering in the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 2005 and 2014, respectively, where I developed researches on Three-Dimensional Space Vector Modulation for Four-Leg Converters and Control techniques applied in the interface unit of a microgrid with the electric distribution system in a scenario of unbalanced load. Now I am a professor in Federal University of Viçosa. Since 2006, I have been worked in developing, research, teaching and orientation of graduate students. The main areas of interest are Power Electronics, Microgrid, Distributed Generation, Pulse Width Modulation Technics, Digital Signal Processors and their applications.

Abstract

The power electronics interfaces of distributed generation units in microgrids usually employ droop control for defining their active and reactive power injections. The voltage and current control loops can be implemented in... [ view full abstract ]
