Robust scheme for voltage regulation and power sharing among DERs in DC microgrids

摘要

This study presents a new control scheme to provide both voltage regulation and power sharing within a DC microgrid. It includes both primary and secondary levels as well as the proposed auxiliary feedback. The secondary control distributes and uses the consensus algorithm to share power. First, the auxiliary feedback is formulated. Then the features of the feedback are analytically extracted to provide both voltage regulation and power sharing. Next, the particle swarm optimisation algorithm determines the parameters of the controller optimally. Following that, a series of simulations is carried out to show the performance of the proposed scheme in comparison with the conventional methods. Hence, to validate the advantages of the proposed scheme, a four distributed energy resource (DER) DC microgrid is considered, and the proposed approach is applied. Afterwards, the eigenvalue and sensitivity analysis show the effect of the parameters variation on microgrid stability. The results show that the applied method can regulate the voltage well and shares the power in the presence of the load demand as a disturbance besides the long-time delay associated with the secondary control as an uncertainty.
