This paper investigates demand side management (DSM) method as a new control strategy
for frequency control of a microgrid powered by diesel driven generator (DDG), wind and
solar photovoltaic (PV) power sources in absence of battery energy storage. Frequency
fluctuation due to intermittent power generation is leveled by adjusting the power
consumption of the non-critical loads (ie, heat pump, freezer) and charging-discharging of
plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) through the demand response controllers beside the …
