description | Potential performance improvements can be obtained by introducing communication techniques in the power electronic systems. However, network-induced time-delay could bring negative consequences of degrading performance or destabilizing the system in many cases. To investigate and handle the impacts of time-delay, a suit of analytical methodology is proposed, where both delay-insensitive and delay-sensitive control strategies of network-based system have their theoretical methods and different problem-solving paths. The former is to predict the maximum allowable boundaries of time-delay for releasing more network resources, and the latter is to use the controller-altering method for changing its original instability, respectively. The proposed methodology is concretely applied in network-based system of droop-controlled AC (Alternating Current) microgrid in islanded mode. Two different current-sharing strategies are mathematically analyzed and given to verify their validity. Experimental results also show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in droop-controlled AC microgrid system, which provides theoretical guidance on how to use network-based control for the other power electronic systems. |
