Abstract
This paper presents a new decentralized robust strategy to improve small and large-signal stability and power-sharing of hybrid AC/DC microgrids and improve its performance for nonlinear and unbalanced loads. In addition to the sliding mode controller for DC/DC converters, for the sake of improving power sharing and regulating active and reactive powers injected by distributed energy resources, and moreover, controlling harmonic and negative-sequence current in the presence of nonlinear and unbalanced loads, two separate controllers for positive sequence power control and negative sequence current control are designed based on the sliding mode control and Lyapunov function theory, respectively. The theoretical concept of the proposed robust control strategy, including mathematical modeling of microgrid components, basic theorems, controller design procedure, and robustness and closed loop stability analysis are outlined. Also, this direct power/current/voltage control scheme is governed by a new hybrid AC/DC hierarchical control scheme that exploits a harmonic virtual impedance loop and voltage compensation scheme. To show the effectiveness of the proposed robust control scheme, offline time-domain simulations are done on a hybrid AC/DC wind/photovoltaic/fuel-cell microgrid with nonlinear and unbalanced loads in MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results are experimentally verified by OPAL-RT real-time digital simulator.
