Abstract
This paper presents a two-layer distributed cooperative control method for networked microgrid (NMG) systems, taking into account the proprietary nature of microgrid (MG) owners. The proposed control architecture consists of an MG-control layer and an NMG-control layer. In the MG layer, the primary and distributed secondary controls realize accurate power sharing among distributed generators (DGs) and the frequency/voltage reference following within each MG. In the NMG layer, the tertiary control enables regulation of the power flowing through the point of common coupling (PCC) of each MG in a decentralized manner. Furthermore, distributed quaternary control restores the system frequency and critical bus voltage to their nominal values and ensures accurate power sharing among MGs. A small-signal dynamic model is developed to evaluate the dynamic performance of NMG systems with the proposed control method. Time-domain simulations and experiments on NMG test systems are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
