Consensus-Based Intelligent Distributed Secondary Control for Multiagent Islanded Microgrid

Abstract

Isolated microgrids (MGs) face challenges in performance stability and active/reactive power sharing as a result of frequency/voltage deviations and mismatched line impedance issues. In this paper, a consensus-based multiagent system (MAS) is proposed as a solution to restore voltage/frequency deviations and enable true power sharing. The invention of an Intelligent Distributed Secondary Control Scheme (IDSCS) can efficiently achieve hoped-for outcomes. The proposed IDSCS features estimation and compensation sublayers. For the estimation sublayer, discrete dynamic consensus algorithm-based state estimators are presented to collect average information of frequency, voltage, and reactive power. Each DG is viewed as an agent sharing information with its immediate neighbors through a sparse cyber communication network. In the compensation sublayer, online tuned proportional integral (PI) controllers using artificial neural networks (ANNs) are proposed as an intelligent voltage and frequency compensators. This combination uses the simplicity of the PI controller mathematical formula and ANN’s ability to deal with parameter variations and nonlinearity. Due to the global nature of the frequency parameter, the active power-sharing compensator is unnecessary. For compensating reactive power deviations, ANNs-based reactive power controllers are proposed. Furthermore, at the primary control level, the proposed strategy employs discrete-time proportional resonant (PR) controllers in a stationary reference frame, eliminating the need for any α β / d q or d q / α β transformations. Distributed implementation of the proposed method guarantees system scalability without MG topology or demand pattern expertise. The control scheme was validated using hypothetical MAS in MATLAB Simulink platform. The simulation findings indicate the proposed MG system can effectively distribute power among the DGs while maintaining voltage and frequency stable.

A Novel Evolving Framework for Energy Management in Combined Heat and Electricity Systems with Demand Response Programs

“…As a result of the DRP, the electrical load shape is better balan as well. Due to the DRP per hour, the heat and electricity peak loads are shifted to ti in which the price of providing electricity and heat is lower [27][28][29]. The DR led to a crease in peak loads and a smoothing of the load curve of the heating system in Figur For the purpose of investigating the DRP, three sub-networks were examined.…”

Islanding Detection and Power Quality Diagnosis of Wind Power Integrated Microgrid with Reduced Feature Trained Novel Optimized Random Decision Forest

“…Once the features are obtained, then it is required to look for a classifier. A number of MLCs are already implemented in several research works starting from consensus-based intelligent control [27], machine faults [28][29][30], and islanding detection [31][32][33][34][35], which have their own uniqueness and limitations. Eventually, ensemble machine learning paradigms are stepping ahead with the concept of combining more than one learner together to bolster the classification rate.…”

Coordinated Control and Load Shifting-Based Demand Management of a Smart Microgrid Adopting Energy Internet

“…Due to the problems of increasing reliance on energy, the duties of energy managers are now more difcult than they were before. Consequently, MGs are installed to maximize the benefts from the generation side and minimize peak demand hour usage by managing the demand side [1,2].…”

“…MGs may reduce pollution and provide uninterrupted power to the community. MGs switch between isolated and grid-connected modes [1,2]. Standalone, isolated, or autonomous MGs are considered self-sustaining [3].…”
