Abstract

In an islanded DC microgrid composed of droop-controlled parallel distributed generators, the DC bus voltage endures derivation as load changes. Several secondary voltage control (SVC) methods have been proposed to compensate for bus voltage derivation, divided into centralized and distributed SVC methods. However, the existing SVC methods have many limitations, including low reliability, high system complexity, poor bus voltage regulation, and sometimes even weakened load sharing performance under primary droop control. In this paper, a small-AC-signal (SACS)-injection-based SVC method in a communication-less manner is proposed to overcome these deficiencies. Firstly, the proposed SACS-injection-based SVC method is explained in detail. Then, comprehensive design procedures for essential control parameters are provided via the steady-state and dynamic analysis of the system. Finally, experiment and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed SACS-injection-based SVC method.
