Abstract

This paper proposes a robust and intelligent droop control method to stabilize a cluster of DC nanogrids (DCNGs) with constant power loads (CPLs). Conventional droop methods suffer from voltage regulation in parallel converters due to the CPLs destructive effects, which cause instability in the DCNGs. To address the shortcomings of the conventional methodologies, this paper proposes a new droop-based single input interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (SI-IT2-FLC), which enhances the transient response and improve the steady-state performance. The suggested method aims to boost the stability of the paralleled DCNGs in a cluster under the effect of the CPLs, which is inevitable in the practical applications. The efficacy of the suggested scheme is validated in different operating conditions. Moreover, real-time model-in-the-loop (MiL) results show the performance improvements in the transient and steady-state obtained by the novel suggested control approach.
