Abstract

In a stand-alone DC microgrid featuring several distributed energy resources (DERs), droop control is adopted to achieve a proportional distribution of current among the DERs within the microgrid. The operation of the droop control mechanism leads to a variation in bus voltage, which is further amplified by the line impedance between the DC bus and DERs. This paper proposes an enhanced distributed secondary control technique aimed at achieving equitable current sharing and voltage regulation simultaneously within a DC microgrid. The proposed distributed secondary control is incorporated into the cyber layer of the microgrid, facilitating the exchange of information among the controllers. In the event of a communication link breakdown, this technique upholds the reliability of the entire system. The control loop utilizes a type-II fuzzy logic control framework for the adaptive selection of the control parameters to improve the control response. Furthermore, the proposed technique can handle both resistive and constant power loads without any particular prerequisites. Utilizing the Lyapunov method, appropriate stability criteria for the proposed controller have been formulated. Various tests were performed across a range of operational scenarios to assess the robustness of the proposed control technique through MATLAB/Simulink® models, which have been validated with real-time experiments. The outcomes revealed that the proposed control effectively achieves its control objectives within a DC microgrid, showcasing rapid responsiveness and minimal oscillation.
