Dual loop voltage droop regulated controller for DC microgrid using hybrid PSO and GGO algorithms

Abstract

DC microgrids are effectively employed in distribution network integration with renewable energy sources. The droop control technique is commonly utilized for DC microgrid regulation during load sharing. It minimizes the potential instability caused by disturbances such as input voltage changes, uncertainty parameters, and constant power load (CPL). Nevertheless, conventional droop control is inadequate in achieving precise current and satisfactory voltage regulation distribution for load sharing. The proposed approach comprises two separate loops for the DC bus voltage regulation and load current distribution, delivering a CVL and CPL to overcome the single optimization voltage controller technique. The primary loop uses the PSO algorithm to precisely manage the current load sharing among two parallel converters. Due to this the instability problems arising from disturbances, and it mitigated by the proposed topology. The multiobjective optimization technique provides notable resilience, rapid dynamic response, and robust stability over considerable variations in load. The secondary loop utilises the GGO algorithm to optimize the parameter to minimize the DC bus voltage regulation, voltage management, reasonable distribution of load power, and suitable reliability. The performance of the voltage regulation enhance & settling time for output voltage has been mitigated more than 31ms times through the proposed controller compared to conventional controller under the variation of CVL, CPL, and input voltage disturbance demonstrated in simulation results.
