Reliability is a key consideration when microgrid technology is implemented in military applications. Droop control provides a simple option without requiring communication between microgrid components, increasing the control system reliability. However, traditional droop control does not allow the microgrid to utilize much of the power available from a solar resource. This paper applies an optimal multidimensional droop control strategy for a solar resource connected in a microgrid at a military patrol base. Simulation and hardware-in-the-loop experiments of a sample microgrid show that much more power from the solar resource can be utilized, while maintaining the system’s bus voltage around a nominal value, and still avoiding the need for communication between the various components.

The conventional droop control is a widely-used technique in load sharing among Distributed Generator (DG) units in islanded DC Microgrids (MGs). This method provides Plug-and-Play (PnP) capability for DG units; however, poor load sharing accuracy and unregulated voltage are two shortcomings of that. This article proposes a novel control system in islanded DC MGs to provide simultaneous regulated voltage and accurate load sharing. The method utilizes a modified droop control technique in a decentralized manner. The proposed control system injects a superimposed AC voltage to the network that carries a frequency proportional to the master DG unit output current. The injected voltage adjusts an added a term to the conventional droop control named as the voltage compensation term in order to cancel voltage changes. This term adjusts terminal voltage of DG units proportional to the frequency of the superimposed AC voltage. The performance of the proposed control system is validated via a set of simulation studies using PLECS, and the experimental results confirm the viability and feasibility of the proposed control system.

Abstract Reducing the dependence of microgrid upon the communication system and realizing the efficient control of multiple distributed generation of the microgrid are problems that need to be solved urgently. Through the research, based on multiple microgrid operation modes, the peer-to-peer control strategy in microgrid is investigated, and the peer-to-peer control strategy method of microgrid is given for a variety of complex control problems of distributed power According to the peer-to-peer control strategy method, distributed power supply adopts droop control in adjusting distributed power supply in output voltage and frequency; the droop controller has P-f and Q-U droop characteristics. This paper establishes a peer-to-peer control microgrid simulation model, adopts the droop controller designed in this paper to island mode and grid-connected mode, and investigates how the microgrid switches between the two modes. In accordance with Matlab/Simulink simulation outcomes, the research examines frequency, voltage and power changes in distributed generation in the microgrid, and verifies the validity and feasibility of microgrid peer-to-peer control strategy.

Peer-to-peer streaming systems (P2PSS) have become well deployed over the Internet in recent times due to its robustness, scalability, distributive nature and cost effectiveness. It is not un-common that peers arrive on the system in large numbers at a particular time in order to retrieve multimedia files. The large spike in the number of peers arriving at a time can be referred to as flash crowd. Several methods have been proposed, models have been designed aiming at providing solution to the problem. This paper attempts to alleviate flash crowd that may occur in the system using a fuzzy logic control system. Inputs were created and fuzzified, rules were developed and then the outputs were defuzzified. Analysis of the results derived from the MATLAB simulation reveal that under a flash crowd scenario, our fuzzy logic controller functions appropriately by the detecting flash crowd when it is about to occur and then necessary actions are taken. Also, with the fuzzy logic control system peer access in and out of the system is successfully controlled. The system allows for new peers to connect more with high bandwidth peers aiming at making the upload rate of each parent proportional to its upload bandwidth thereby utilizing the limited bandwidth resources of the entire P2P system more effectively.Keywords: Peer-to-peer networks, video streaming and flash crowdVol. 26, No. 1, June, 2019
