Abstract
To eliminate voltage deviation of DC microgrids induced by droop control, distributed secondary control has been widely developed with lots of variants. Compared with most existing approaches, a digital communication network is considered where signals are quantized before transmitting into the channel. Then, a distributed secondary control strategy based on quantized signals is designed, to achieve current sharing and voltage restoration under a limited communication width. In this regard, the communication burden can be greatly reduced by using fewer information bits. For further reducing controller updating, we integrate signal quantization with an event-triggered mechanism. Finally, simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
