Consensus-based economic hierarchical control strategy for islanded MG considering communication path reconstruction

摘要

In the islanded microgrid (MG), to improve the control effect of the output voltages of DERs and keep the economical operation of MG, a consensus-based economic hierarchical control strategy is proposed in this paper. The corresponding control structure is divided into physical and cyber layers, where the cyber layer is mainly composed by communicators. In these two layers, there are two main designs: the consensus-based primary control (CBPC) method and the secondary control (CBSC) method. In CBPC: Firstly, the undirected communication path among communicators is designed by path planning. Then, based on the constructed path, an economic P-U droop control method considering with line loss and flexible load is realized by using consensus control. In CBSC: Firstly, a cyber-physical vulnerability assessment method is designed. Based on this method, the DER with the lowest vulnerability is selected to be connected with the "virtual leader". And when the data transmission behavior of the undirected communication path is selected, the undirected network can be transferred as a directed network. Thus, it can make the virtual leader-following consensus control (VLFCC) and the secondary control on voltage accomplished. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. (C) 2019 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
