This study considers the hierarchical control of microgrid and harmonic compensation of non-linear load specially in transition from grid-connected to unplanned islanding. The proposed controllers are based on the stationary reference frame with hierarchical control levels (inner, primary, and secondary). In the inner control loop, proportional and multi-resonant voltage and current controllers for three-phase voltage source inverters are proposed. Moreover, a droop control is used to share active and reactive power in the primary control loop. To achieve decoupled active and reactive power sharing, virtual impedance loop is implemented, too. The mentioned procedure increases the total impedance and consequently reduces the initial current and subsequently facilitates the continuous connection of DGs to the MG. To attain smoother transition, selective harmonic virtual impedance is applied by multiple second-order generalised integrator module to extract the fundamental positive sequence and harmonic components of the output current of the DGs. In secondary control level, synchronisation procedure is considered to make connection and restoration by the advanced three-phase synchronous reference frame PLL with in-loop moving average filter which significantly enhances its disturbance rejection capability. The results are shown smoother transition, robustness, and high performance of the proposed hierarchical control VSIs during variation of system configuration.

This paper investigates the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for a class of large scale interconnected systems with both state and input delays. The upper bounds of the interconnection terms are considered to be unknown. Time varying delays in the nonlinear interconnection terms are bounded and nonnegative continuous functions and their derivatives are not necessarily less than one. For exact prediction, a decentralized adaptive state observer is designed and a nested predictor based approach is established to predict the future states of the input delay compensation. It is shown that the solutions of uncertain large‐scale time‐delay interconnected systems converge uniformly exponentially to a desired small ball. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is illustrated by two examples.
