Robust Decentralized Voltage Tracker of Islanded Multi-DG AC Microgrids Using Invariant Ellipsoids
This chapter develops a robust decentralized voltage tracker for islanded MGs. The proposed controller is robust against the plug and play operation of the MG, loads, and line parameter uncertainties. The problem is solved in the framework of linear matrix inequality (LMI). The proposed robust control represents the load changes and the parameter variations of lines connecting the DGs as a norm-bounded uncertainty. The proposed controller utilizes local measurements from DGs (i.e., it is totally decentralized). Control decentralization is accomplished by decomposing the global system into subsystems. The effect of the rest of the system on a specific subsystem is considered as a disturbance to minimize (disturbance rejection control). The controller is designed by the invariant-sets (approximated by the invariant ellipsoids). Different time-domain simulations are carried out as connecting and disconnected one or more DGs, connecting and disconnecting local loads DGs and transmission line parameters variation.
