Analysis of voltage droop control method for dc microgrids with Simulink: Modelling and simulation

摘要

This work presents a perfomance study of a dc microgrid when it is used a voltage droop technique to regulated the grid voltage and to control the load sharing between different sources. A small model of a dc microgrid comprising microsources and loads was implemented in the Simulink/Matlab environment. Some aspects about centralized (master-slave) and descentralized (voltage droop) control strategies as well as the procedures to design the controllers, with and without droop control, are presented and discussed. Simulation results obtained with the digital model of the dc microgrid with three microsources will be presented to validate the effectiveness of the voltage droop strategy, applied to proportional and proportional-integral controllers, to regulate the microgrid voltage.
