Abstract
Constant power loads (CPLs) impose instability issues in DC microgrids due to their negative impedance characteristics. This paper studies the problem of voltage control design of DC microgrids with CPLs. It is assumed that the power of CPLs is uncertain and belongs to a given interval leading to an infinite number of equilibrium points of the system. We develop a polytope model for DC microgrids with uncertain CPLs. Using this model, a robust two-degree-of-freedom feedback-feedforward voltage control framework is then proposed. The voltage controller is obtained by a solution of a set of linear matrix inequalities. The voltage control design strategy for each distributed generation (DG) unit is scalable and independent of the other DGs. The effectiveness of the proposed control approach is evaluated through simulation studies in MATLAB/SimPowerSystems toolbox.
