Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles:Consensus-Based Distributed Anti-Disturbance Control of DC Microgrids Over Fading Channels

Abstract

This paper develops a novel consensus-based distributed anti-disturbance control scheme that can achieve current sharing of distributed generations (DG) and voltage restoration of DC bus in mean square subject to multiplicative measurement noises and communication delays over fading networks. Since the cyber channels are exposed to inherent communication delays, the measurement information exchange with noise interferences among multiple and cooperative DGs may be disturbed in fading communication networks, where fading may either be due to noises, delays, and shadowing from obstacles affecting the wave propagation. As a result, fading makes every DG receives incomplete/imprecise information from its neighbors. To dispel the adverse influences of measurement noises and time delays over fading networks, a washout filter-based distributed anti-disturbance control algorithm is developed for DC microgrids, in which only the current state variable is exchanged among DGs with the local decentralized voltage controller. By introducing stochastic theory and Lyapunov stability function, the criteria for the stability analysis and delays boundedness considering noise interferences is derived to ensure the stability operation of the whole closed-loop DC network. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy by a tested DC microgrid in OPAL-RT real-time simulator.
