This paper presents a reduced-order generalized proportional-integral observer (RGPIO) based resonant super-twisting sliding mode controller (RST-SMC) for the three-phase AC/DC converters. On the contrary to utilizing proportional-integral (PI) controller in regulating the DC-link voltage, which may cause large undershoot/overshoot under the disturbance, the proposed voltage control strategy for the DC-link has high disturbance rejection ability and the settling time has been greatly reduced. In addition, the proposed RST-SMC in the current control loop not only preserve the merits of the sliding mode controller but also achieve the current tracking without steady-state error in the stationary α-β frame. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified by a lab-constructed experimental prototype.

As unbalance state of charge (SOC) of storage units usually leads to the decrease of lifetime, SOC balancing control is essential. In this paper, a decentralized SOC balancing method is proposed to balance the SOC of cascaded-type energy storage systems. Since the method does not rely on any communication, it possesses higher reliability. As is well known, SOC is a slowly changing variable compared to other variables such as voltage and current. Thus, the studied system has obvious two-time scale characteristic. Then the stability analysis of the system based on the singular perturbation theory is carried out. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed SOC balancing scheme is verified through both simulation and experiment tests.

Hybrid cascaded-parallel microgrid is becoming a new emerging structure to integrate multiple low-voltage power sources. This paper presents a unified distributed control strategy to implement power sharing control in hybrid cascaded-parallel microgrid with both resistive-inductive (RL) and resistive-capacitive (RC) load, where a sign function is introduced to automatically match load characteristic. Active power and reactive power regulators without frequency drop are developed, and low bandwidth communication network is employed to support power management and improve system redundancy. Furthermore, small signal model of hybrid cascaded-parallel microgrid with RL load and RC load is established. Also, small signal stability and dynamic performance of the proposed distributed control strategy is investigated. Simulation results show that the unified distributed control strategy is able to implement desirable power sharing under different load types with superior control performance. Also, the proposed control strategy is able to improve system redundancy and support plug-and-play operation of microgrid.

The microgrid with cascaded H-bridge micro-converters (cascaded-type microgrid) is an effective way to integrate the distributed generators (DGs) into medium/high-voltage distribution energy system. Just like the islanded microgrid composed of paralleled inverters, achieving accuracy in power sharing and high voltage quality is a serious challenge in cascaded-type microgrid without communication. In this article, a decentralised control scheme is proposed to share the active and reactive power accurately under the resistance-inductance and resistance-capacitance loads. The power factor angle of each DG is assigned to be consistent in the steady state via regulating both the frequency and voltage. The proposed scheme can be easily implemented only based on the local measured signals. Meanwhile, excellent load voltage quality is achieved. Small-signal analysis method is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and a guide for designing the power sharing coefficient is given. The cascaded-type microgrid model is developed through simulations and experiments to verify the performance of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents a series‐parallel photovoltaic (PV)‐storage independent microgrid (MG), where low‐voltage distributed generation units could be connected to power grid conveniently. Moreover, it provides a promising way to form medium voltage MG. For this proposed structure, a decentralized control is proposed. The PV units are controlled by a maximum power point tracking (MPPT)‐based droop control, where MPPT of the PV units is achieved. Storage units are regulated via a “droop” controller dependent its reactive power polarity and take the responsibility of keeping the power supply‐demand balance of the MG. Since all these controllers make decisions only based on their local information, the proposed control is reliable and cost‐effective. Moreover, the small‐signal stability of the system is proved. And simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness.

For an AC-stacked photovoltaic (PV) inverter system with N cascaded inverters, existing control methods require at least N communication links to acquire the grid synchronization signal. In this paper, a novel decentralized control is proposed. For N inverters, only one inverter nearest the point of common coupling (PCC) needs a communication link to acquire the grid voltage phase and all other N − 1 inverters use only local measured information to achieved fully decentralized local control. Specifically, one inverter with a communication link utilizes the grid voltage phase and adopts current control mode to achieve a required power factor (PF). All other inverters need only local information without communication links and adopt voltage control mode to achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and self-synchronization with grid voltage. Compared with existing methods, the communication link and complexity is greatly reduced, thus improved reliability and reduced communication costs are achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed control is verified by simulation tests.

This letter presents a general decentralized control scheme for cascaded H-bridge inverter-based static compensators (STATCOM) in medium/high voltage (MV/HV) power network. The H-bridge modules are controlled in a decentralized manner without a central controller, and each module makes decisions based on individual local controller. The local controller includes two parts: 1) a Q-ω boost control is introduced to share reactive power equally, and 2) a scalable P-V control is established for balancing DC-link voltage of inverters. The proposed scheme can achieve frequency synchronization autonomously, and thus has advantages of improved reliability, scalability and decreased costs. Moreover, an improved decentralized control is also proposed to adapt the grid-side dynamics when contingencies will occur. The system stability conditions are derived, and the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

This paper proposes a communication-free decentralized control for grid-connected cascaded PV inverter systems. The cascaded PV inverter system is an AC-stacked architecture, which promotes the integration of low voltage (LV) distributed photovoltaic (PV) generators into the medium/high voltage (MV/HV) power grid. The proposed decentralized control is fully free of communication links and phase-locked loop (PLL). All cascaded inverters are controlled as current controlled voltage sources locally and independently to achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and frequency self-synchronization with the power grid. As a result, control complexity as well as communication costs are reduced, and the system’s reliability is greatly enhanced compared with existing communication-based methods. System stability and dynamic performance are evaluated by small-signal analysis to guide the design of system parameters. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution are verified by simulation tests.

To facilitate the integration of low voltage photovoltaic (PV) generators into the grid and achieve high efficiency, this paper presents a grid-connected cascaded single-stage PV inverter system and a fully decentralized power control is proposed accordingly. In this system configuration, input port of each single-stage PV inverter is tied directly to its local PV panels and their output ports are connected in series to be integrated into the utility grid. Thus, a high step-up conversion stage is not needed and high efficiency as well as reduced cost are realized. The proposed decentralized power control requires no communication facilities and thus features high reliability. With the proposed control, each cascaded inverter is controlled as a voltage source independently and locally to realize maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and frequency synchronization with the utility grid autonomously without a phase-locked loop (PLL), which ensures supplying the maximum active power available to the utility grid. The system stability is evaluated by small-signal stability analysis. Simulation test verifies the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed control.

Constant power loads (CPLs) often cause instability due to its negative impedance characteristics. In this study, the stability of a DC microgrid with CPLs under a distributed control that aims at current sharing and voltage recovery is analyzed. The effect of the negative impedance on the behavior of distributed controller is investigated. The small-signal model is established to predict the system qualitative behavior around equilibrium. The stability conditions of the system with time delay are derived based on the equivalent linearized model. Additionally, eigenvalue analysis based on inertia theorem provides analytical sufficient conditions as a function of the system parameters, and thus it leads to a design guideline to build reliable microgrids. Simulations are performed to confirm the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a novel universal control for multi-bus AC microgrid with the capability to operate in both grid-connected (GC) and islanded (IS) modes. The control scheme is based on distributed manner, and the leader-follower consensus protocol is designed. Only few leader distributed generators (DGs) receive the correction signals from the unified mode controller, which is installed at the point of common coupling (PCC). The rest follower DGs would track the leader DGs, and exchange information with their neighbors. Under this control framework, the active and reactive power can be flexibly controlled to inject into the grid in GC mode. Meanwhile, the voltage/frequency support and active/reactive power sharing are guaranteed in IS mode. Moreover, the proposed method is able to offer seamless transition between GC and IS modes. Finally, simulations are presented to verify the satisfied transition process of different modes.

Although the wireless power transfer (WPT) has been used in a wide range of areas, there are many difficulties with the development of WPT. The load voltage quality problem caused by the high susceptibility of the delivered power to the surrounding is still a key issue to be solved. To guarantee a high quality of dc load voltage in WPT system, this paper proposes a novel voltage control strategy based on DC electric spring(DCES). The DCES is controlled to generate a dc voltage to regulate the voltage of critical loads while passing the fluctuating voltage to the non-critical loads. The operating principle and control strategy are analyzed in detail. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technology in WPT system, simulations are carried out based on MATLAB/SIMULINK.
