This study compares the performance of the power sharing method for a microgrid by considering control modes under 2 different simulation platforms: PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB/SIMULINKSIM power system. The Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS) microgrid test model that contains 3 DGs with voltage ratings of 4.14 kV is presented as a case study. Simulation studies are carried out under two cases. In case 1, the system is simulated when all DGs operate in UPC mode. In case 2, all DGs operate in FFC-UPC-FFC mode. The performance comparison of PSCAD and MATLAB is evaluated under different simulation time period: grid connected mode from 0-2 sec and island mode from 2-4 sec. load variation under grid connected and island mode is also analysed.
