Abstract
- This paper presents the fundamental concepts of a generalized central power management system and a decentralized, robust control strategy for autonomous mode of operation of a microgrid that includes multiple distributed energy resource (DER) units. DER units are divided into voltage-controlled and power-controlled DER units. The frequency of each DER unit is determined by its independent internal oscillator and all oscillators are synchronized by a common time-reference signal based on a global positioning system (GPS). The power management system (PMS) specifies the power and voltage set points for the local controllers of each DER unit. A linear, time-invariant, multivariable, robust, decentralized control system is designed to track the setpoints. Each control agent guarantees fast tracking, zero steady state error, and robust performance despite uncertainties of the microgrid parameters, topology, and the operating point. Existence conditions, control design procedures, eigenanalysis and robust stability analysis of the closed-loop system, and performance of the control strategy based on digital time-domain simulation studies in PSCAD/EMTDC platform, are reported. Performance of the control system is also verified based on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) studies in the RTDS environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
