Event triggering power sharing control for AC/DC microgrids based on P -F droop curve method.

Abstract The power sharing of AC/DC micro-grids is researched in this paper. The proposed strategy mainly include two parts: the primary power event triggering control with secondary control and an adaptive quasi sliding mode voltage control in inner-loop. Firstly, a event triggering power sharing control (ETPSC) based on P − F droop curve is developed to regulate the voltage and frequency of AC and voltage of DC with the aim of the proportional power sharing between AC and DC micro-grids. The triggered threshold of ETPSC can be chosen to decide the transmitted power between AC and DC micro-grids. When the difference power between AC and DC micro-grids is less than the triggered threshold of power flow, there is no power sharing between AC and DC micro-grids, which can less the number of switching the power flow direction and the transmitted line power loss. The ETPSC has a great robust for the disturbances of load and improve the stability of the system. An adaptive quasi-sliding-mode control,which is implemented easily and flexibly with small computational burden and only based on input/output (I/O) measurement data but not the model any more, is used to control voltage in inner-loop. The effectiveness of the proposed control schemes is demonstrated by some numerical simulations and experimental results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
