“…Existing droop control methods for voltage source converters (VSCs)-based DC MGs implement the basic concept of droop in different ways and can be grouped in two families; current/power mode droop, including Current-Voltage (I-V) and PowerVoltage (P-V) strategies and voltage mode droop, including V-I and V-P strategies [27]. The I-V and P-V droop methods are shown in Fig.…”

The proposed approach, which can be used in terrestrial DC microgrids as well, effectively improves the load sharing accuracy under high droop gain circumstance with consideration of cable impedance. Since no extra communication line and controllers are required, it is easily implemented and also increases the system modularity and reliability. By using the proposed approach the DC transmission losses can be reduced and system stability is not deteriorated for normal and fault scenarios. In this paper optimal droop gain settings are investigated and the selection of individual droop gains as well as the proportional power sharing ratio has been described. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Index Terms-DC power system, droop control, load sharing, voltage deviation, transmission losses.

“…The droop control method is applied in the traditional control method of the dc-bus voltage [4].The duty ratios of the DC-DC converters are controlled by the PI controllers which make the dc-bus voltage constant [5]. With the droop controllers and the PI controllers applied to the system, the response time may be long and the ripple of the dc-bus voltage may be large.…”

Abstract. Constant value control of the DC-bus voltage is a essential problem of the control system of the DC microgrids. DC-DC converters are applied in parallel to realize the transform of energy from the distributed generations (DGs) to the DC-bus. Droop control methods are applied to the DC-bus voltage while PI controllers are used in controlling the duty ratios of the converters. This method may bring out the slow response speed of the system accompanied by the large ripple of the voltage. The slide mode variable structure control can speed up the response and reduce the ripple of the voltage as well. In the traditional slide mode control based on the proportion switching function, the denominator of the transfer function of the controlled plant is a second-order characteristic polynomial without the constant term. The denominators of the transfer functions of the buck DC-DC converters contain the constant terms. The designing of the parameters of the slide mode control based on the proportion switching function is analyzed based on mathematics deductions. Simulation results show that the selected parameters can not only speed up the response of the system but also greatly reduce the ripple of the voltage.
