Based on power line carrier communication technology, a decentralized multi-agent system (DMAS)-based frequency control strategy is proposed and investigated in this study on an autonomous microgrid with communication constraints, where each agent can only communicate with its neighboring agents. Using the optimized average consensus algorithm, the global information (i.e., total active power deficiency of the microgrid) can be accurately shared in a decentralized way. Depending on the discovered global information, the cooperative frequency control strategy, which involves primary and secondary frequency control and multistage load shedding, is executed to achieve a cooperative frequency recovery. Simulation results indicate that the proposed frequency control approach can guarantee the consensus and coordination of the distributed agents and maintain the frequency stability of islanded microgrids even in emergency conditions.
