Distributed Cooperative Secondary Control of Microgrids Using Feedback Linearization

Distributed Secondary Control in Microgrids

The recent changes in the structure of power generation towards a distributed generation have motivated the increasing interest in the control of so-called microgrids. Microgrids typically consist of an AC electrical network connecting a set of loads and droop-controlled inverters. While the decentralized and proportional primary droop-control ensures the stabilization and the synchronization o...

Secondary control of microgrids based on distributed cooperative control of multi-agent systems

This study proposes a secondary voltage and frequency control scheme based on the distributed cooperative control of multi-agent systems. The proposed secondary control is implemented through a communication network with one-way communication links. The required communication network is modelled by a directed graph (digraph). The proposed secondary control is fully distributed such that each di...

A Novel Distributed Secondary Coordination Control Approach for Islanded Microgrids

This paper develops a new distributed secondary cooperative control scheme to coordinate distributed generators (DGs) in islanded microgrids (MGs). A finite time frequency regulation strategy containing a consensus-based distributed active power regulator is presented, which can not only guarantee the active power sharing but also enable all DGs’ frequencies to converge to the reference value w...

Feedback Linearization Control for a Distributed Solar Collector Field

This article presents a feedback linearization control of a distributed solar collector field, which main purpose is to heat a fluid using the energy provided by the solar irradiation. The control objective is to track an outlet temperature reference manipulating the fluid flow trying to attenuate the effect of disturbances (mainly radiation and inlet temperature). A feedback linearization tech...
