Summary: | Mobile emergency resources (MERs) are critical to the resilience of distribution systems for an emergency response to natural disasters. However, after disasters, the communication network of MERs may be unreliable. For example, the communication topology switches in different modes randomly. The conventional centralized control algorithms may not converge. As a result, the instability of frequency and voltage happened. To alleviate the impacts of the unreliable communication network on the second control performance, this paper regards the distribution system after disasters as multiple microgrids. A distributed secondary control algorithm is designed to regulate frequency and voltage in islanded microgrids over switching communication topologies. The algorithm is guaranteed to converge in a fixed time. Case studies are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control algorithm under switching communication topologies.
