Distributed Power Management for Networked AC–DC Microgrids With Unbalanced Microgrids

摘要

This paper investigates the issue of power management networked ac-dc microgrids (MGs) interconnected by interlinking converters with the consideration of unbalanced single-/three-phase ac MGs as well as power quality improvement. An integrated hierarchical distributed coordinated control approach is developed, which mainly consists of an up-layer event-triggered method of power sharing among MGs, and an event-triggered dynamic power flow routing approach to navigate the power flow among phases of the single-/three-phase ac MGs to balance the power of the MG. With the proposed control method, balanced output phase powers for the three-phase distributed generation (DGs) and enhanced voltage quality at the point of common coupling and DG terminals can be achieved besides proportional active power sharing among MGs and reduced communication. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the proposed control method.
