Power Oscillations Damping in DC Microgrids

This paper proposes a new control strategy for damping of power oscillations in a multi-source dc microgrid. A parallel combination of a fuel cell (FC), a photovoltaic (PV) system and a supercapacitor (SC) are used as a hybrid power conversion system (HPCS). The SC compensates for the slow transient response of the FC stack. The HPCS controller comprises a multi-loop voltage controller and a virtual impedance loop for power management. The virtual impedance loop uses a dynamic droop gain to actively damp the low-frequency oscillations of the power sharing control unit. The gain of virtual impedance loop is determined using small signal analysis and pole placement method. The Mesh analysis is employed to further study the stability of low-frequency modes of the overall dc microgrid. Moreover, based on the guardian map theorem, arobust stability analysis is carried out to determine a robustness margin for the closed-loop system. The main advantage of the proposed method is its robustness against uncertainties imposed by microgrid parameters. This feature provides DG units with plug-and-play capability without needing the exact values of microgrid parameters. The performance of the proposed control scheme is verified using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations carried out in OPAL-RT technologies
