Robust Stability of DC Microgrid Under Distributed Control
Abstract
Compared with AC microgrid, DC microgrid has attracted more and more attention due to their high reliability and simple control. In this paper, we analyze the existence and stability of equilibrium of DC microgrid under distributed control. Firstly, the power-flow equation of the DC microgrid with $n$ DGs and $m$ CPLs is built. On this basis, under the limitation of currents of DGs, the sufficient solvability conditions are obtained based on Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem. Secondly, we build the small-signal model to forecast the system qualitative behavior around equilibrium. The eigenvalue analysis based on inertial theorem provides the analysis basis for system stability, then we obtain the robust stability condition based on the properties of a special matrix. The obtained stability conditions provide a reference for establishing a stable DC microgrid. Lastly, simulation results verify the correctness of the proposed theorems.
