Title A Novel Robust Communication Algorithm for Distributed Secondary Control of Islanded MicroGrids
Type Presentation
Keywords Communication systems, distributed control, microgrid (MG), packet delay, packet losses, secondary control.
Abstract Distributed secondary control (DSC) is a new approach for MicroGrids (MGs) such that frequency, voltage and power regulation is made in each unit locally to avoid using a central controller. Due to the constrained traffic pattern required by the secondary control, it is viable to implement dedicated local area communication functionality among the local controllers. This paper presents a new, wireless-based robust communication algorithm for DSC of MGs designed to avoid communication bottlenecks and enable the plug-and-play capability of new DGs. Real-time simulation and experimental results are presented to evaluate the feasibility and robustness endowed by the proposed algorithm.
