Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: A consensus-driven distributed control approach aimed at achieving optimal power distribution, frequency management, and DC voltage regulation within AC/DC hybrid isolated Microgrids is presented in this article. For the main control, local management of AC/DC distributed generators (DGs) is executed through droop-based control methods. In terms of secondary control, a coordination-oriented distributed optimal control strategy is first presented. Following this, control goals such as the restoration of AC frequency, regulation of DC voltage, and the optimal economic operation of all involved AC/DC DGs, while taking power limits into account within the AC/DC hybrid network, are accomplished using the suggested optimal consensus-based controller. Additionally, a method for distributed active power control is introduced to manage several bidirectional power flow converters (BPFCs), guaranteeing proportional active power distribution among BPFCs to avert overloading. This paper also includes a thorough mathematical validation. Hardware – in the – Loop (HIL) is developed to present various responses for validating the proposed methodology.
