Enhanced PI control and adaptive gain tuning schemes for distributed secondary control of an islanded microgrid

Abstract This paper develops an enhanced proportional‐integral distributed control scheme (EPI‐DCS) to regulate the frequency and voltage of a droop‐controlled microgrid and share the power mismatch, simultaneously. The proposed EPI‐DCS is designed by using the control Lyapunov function method and a...

description Abstract This paper develops an enhanced proportional‐integral distributed control scheme (EPI‐DCS) to regulate the frequency and voltage of a droop‐controlled microgrid and share the power mismatch, simultaneously. The proposed EPI‐DCS is designed by using the control Lyapunov function method and adding a new consensus‐based term to the integrand dynamic of the conventional PI control. In the proposed distributed EPI‐DCS, the distributed generation units intermittently exchange information with the neighbouring distributed generation units, through a communication network. Considering the communication network time delays, the stability of the proposed EPI‐DCS is examined using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii linear matrix inequality conditions, and the maximum stable time delay is calculated. In order to stabilise the system for large destabilising time delays, an adaptive gain scheme is proposed. Effectiveness of the proposed adaptive EPI‐DCS is validated by numerical simulations with detailed models of the components and the converters, including load change, distributed generation outage, and adaptive gain‐scheduling against destabilising communication network time delays.
