Abstract
The distributed generators (DGs) and energy storages systems (ESSs) have different droop characteristics for power sharing in autonomous microgrids (MGs). In previous research, the distributed secondary control is proposed for only one specific type of units, and relies on periodic communications among neighbors. In this paper, a unified distributed real power sharing control scheme based on the dynamic event-triggered mechanism is proposed for droop-governed DGs and ESSs. A unified power sharing strategy is proposed where the power are fairly shared among all DGs and ESSs considering their different power ratings and capacities, while state-of-charges among ESSs are balanced. In the meantime, a distributed event-triggered control scheme with a novel dynamic triggering mechanism is designed to reduce the communications among controllers. Besides, the proposed event-triggered mechanism is sample-based and only uses the largest and the second smallest eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix to design the controller gain and event-triggered parameters. To validate the proposed control design, a MG test system with detailed component models is built in the OPAL-RT real-time simulator. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed controller.
