A Plug and Play Distributed Secondary Controller for Microgrids with Grid-Forming Inverters

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

A distributed controller for secondary control problems in microgrids with grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources (IBRs) is developed. The controller is based on distributed optimization and is synthesized and implemented distributively enabling each GFM IBR to utilize decentralized measurements and the neighborhood information in the communication network. We present a convergence analysis establishing voltage regulation and reactive power sharing properties. A controller-hardware-in-the-loop experiment is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed controller. The experimental results corroborate the efficacy of the proposed distributed controller for secondary control.
