The rising global energy demand, the exhaustion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution makes microgrids (MGs) inevitable in the present era. The autonomous mode of MG operation has revolutionized the electrical power system since it ensures a reliable and uninterrupted power supply. Operating MG in autonomous mode presents several challenges due to the disconnection from the main grid. Of the many challenges posed in operating a MG in autonomous mode, the problem of proper power sharing among the DGs must be precisely considered. Since improper sharing results in overloading of a few DGs while the other DGs in the MG remain unloaded, leading to the failure of MG. To ensure that active and reactive power are shared in proportion to the DG rating, traditional droop control methods are employed. This paper elaborates on the power sharing in autonomous MG with parallel DGs having private and common loads. A photovoltaic (PV) source and battery are used together as DG. A conventional droop controller is proven to be successful for real power sharing but inadequate for proportionate reactive power sharing. The inaccuracy in reactive power contributions among the DGs is attributed to the inequality in the line impedances and asymmetry in the system loads.
