Cyber‐physical cooperative control strategy for islanded micro‐grid considering communication interruption.

Summary: In this paper, a cyber‐physical cooperative control strategy considering communication interruption is proposed to improve the control effect on output voltages and frequency obtained by droop control of distributed energy resources (DERs). The control structure consists of the physical and cyber layers. And in the two layers, the interruption occurs mostly in sensors and data aggregators. To solve the problem of interruption among data aggregators, a path‐planning method combined with improved Dijkstra algorithm (IDA) and improved genetic algorithm (IGA) is proposed in the cyber layer. To solve the problem of interruption among sensors, a predictive compensation method combined with extreme learning machine (ELM) and model predictive control (MPC) is proposed in the physical layer. Meanwhile, so as to improve the control effect of DERs, a virtual leader‐following consensus control (VLFCC) method combined with double sliding mode control (SMC) is first proposed in cyber layer and then applied to the physical layer to accomplish the secondary control on DERs. Finally, the simulation results show that under the condition of communication interruption, the output voltage and frequency of each DER can be adjusted to their respective reference values through the proposed cooperative control strategy.
