Disturbance Observer Based Distributed Consensus Control Strategy of Multi‐Agent System with External Disturbance in a Standalone DC Microgrid

Abstract

This article proposes the secondary voltage control of microgrid on the basis of cooperative control of multi agent system. The distributed cooperative control utilizes disturbance observer technique to synchronize the DC bus voltage. The proposed controller achieves balanced power sharing among the battery energy storage units (BESUs) in the presence of external disturbances in heterogeneous microgrid (MG) network. The dynamics of heterogeneous nodes affected by constant disturbance such as error measurements, sudden load variations and communication link failure between distributed generator units make the network highly heterogeneous. Firstly, a disturbance observer is established to estimate the disturbance generated from the MG system. Secondly, distributed consensus control law is designed to suppress the disturbances acting on the multi‐agent system. Furthermore, communication delays are explicitly considered in the analysis. The presented control strategy is compared with the existing mainstream algorithms to check the feasibility of the designed control method. The effectiveness of the proposed control law for isolated DC MG system has been validated by MATLAB/Simulink platform using simulation case studies.

Energy management and control system for microgrid based wind-PV-battery using multi-agent systems

“…A Multi-Agent System (MAS) (Krishna Metihalli and Narayana Sabhahit, 2021) is a field in which artificial intelligence and distributed systems are combined. MAS appears to be used to tackle distributed artificial intelligence challenges as well as to govern complicated systems with minimal data interchange and processing needs.…”

A Distributed Control Scheme for Cyber-Physical DC Microgrid Systems

“…In the distributed 2 0 ry control method, each distributed generator is equipped with a 2 0 ry controller. It exploits characteristics of a typical CPS by using the peer-to-peer communication network to exchange information and control signals in real time to attain voltage regulation and current-sharing goals in the µgrid [35][36][37]. The distributed 2 0 ry control technique posited in [38] adopts two proportional-integral controllers for independent proportional current sharing in the µgrid.…”

Distributed cooperative control of multi‐converter systems via networks

“…Alternatively, decentralized control schemes for DMCSs can overcome this drawback. These mostly include droop control [9,10], sensorless control [11], and distributed cooperative control [12,13]. Among them, the distributed cooperative control scheme is popular in the domain of controllers for power electronics with the rapid advancement of network techniques and multi-agent system (MAS) theory [14,15].…”
