Enhanced Secondary Control for Power/Current Sharing in DC Microgrids Considering Communication‐Links Failures and Current and Voltage‐Controlled Converters

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The stable operation of DC microgrids requires robust secondary control strategies capable of ensuring accurate power sharing and bus voltage regulation, even under adverse conditions. Traditional approaches are generally based on proportional sharing according to the nominal capacities of the converters, which limits operational flexibility in scenarios requiring critical load prioritisation or maintenance strategies. This paper proposes a distributed secondary control strategy that enables individualised power allocation among converters without compromising system stability. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through simulations and practical experiments under different operating conditions, including load variations, disturbances, and communication failures, demonstrating its accuracy, robustness, and applicability.
