This paper presents a detailed and accurate small-signal analysis model for a four-terminal low-voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution network with distributed secondary control strategy. To tackle the contradiction between power sharing accuracy and average voltage recovery ability of voltage source converters (VSCs), a distributed secondary control strategy is adopted, which is based on average consensus algorithm and local voting protocol. Furthermore, to analyze the stability of LVDC distribution network based on the proposed distributed secondary control strategy, a detailed and accurate small-signal analysis model is formulated which is derived from various non-linear state-space sub-models. The time-domain simulation and electromagnetic simulation are carried out to verify the validity and accuracy of the proposed model. Based on this model, the influence rules of main eigenvalues are summarized with the variation of PI control and DC line parameters. Time-domain simulations conducted in PSCAD are used to validate the operational limits of the secondary controllers and DC line obtained from the small-signal stability analysis.
