Abstract
This paper focuses on the event-triggered secondary control problem of islanded microgrid with nonlinear dynamics and unknown external disturbances. Distributed secondary control law is proposed to compensate for frequency and voltage deviation caused by primary control, and to realize accurate active power sharing. In order to save communication resources, a novel hybrid event-triggering mechanism (ETM) is proposed to schedule the information transmission for each distributed generator. A hybrid model is constructed to describe the closed-loop dynamics and incorporate the ETM into flow and jump sets. Based on this model, Lyapunov stability conditions and ETM design are developed. Compared with the existing results, the proposed hybrid event-triggered control strategy not only has potential to reduce triggering number, but also guarantee a strictly positive minimum event-triggering interval even in the presence of external disturbances, that is important for physical implementation. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the proposed method.
