Abstract

Motivated by the increasing interest in DC microgrids, we study the distributed secondary control problem of DC microgrids which aims to simultaneously guarantee load current sharing and DC bus voltage restoration. In particular, we analyze in-depth the effects of nonlinear constant power loads (CPLs), and successfully establish an upper bound for CPLs to guarantee the stability of DC microgrids. This established bound is less conservative than existing counterparts, allowing the connected power of CPLs to be much larger than that of linear resistive loads. Moreover, this bound explicitly reveals the connections between CPLs and droop gains, i.e., the upper bound of CPLs can be increased by decreasing droop gains, and vice versa. Three case studies are provided to verify the established results.
