A backstepping high-order sliding mode voltage control strategy for an islanded microgrid with harmonic/interharmonic loads

摘要

This paper presents a new nonlinear voltage control strategy based on backstepping control and a high-order sliding mode differentiator for an islanded microgrid. The microgrid consists of multiple distributed generation (DG) units with an arbitrary configuration that can be parametrically uncertain or topologically unknown. The proposed controller robustly regulates the microgrid voltages in the presence of parametric uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, load imbalances, and nonlinear loads with harmonic/interharmonic currents. In contrast to existing methods, the controller does not need to know the frequency of harmonic and interharmonic current of microgrid loads that lead to the reduction of the steady-state error of the voltage controller in the frequency of unknown harmonics and interharmonics. The MATLAB/SimPowerSystems toolbox has verified the proposed control strategy's performance.
