A scalable, line-independent control design algorithm for voltage and frequency stabilization in AC islanded microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Michele Tucci

We propose a decentralized control synthesis procedure for stabilizing voltage and frequency in AC Islanded microGrids (ImGs) composed of Distributed Generation Units (DGUs) and loads interconnected through power lines. The presented approach enables Plug- ...

A Passivity-Based Approach to Voltage Stabilization in DC Microgrids with ZIP loads

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Pulkit Nahata, Michele Tucci, Raffaele Soloperto, Andrea Martinelli

We consider the application of passivity theory to the problem of voltage stabilization in DC microgrids, which are composed of distributed generation units, dynamic RLC lines, and nonlinear ZIP (constant impedance, constant current, and constant power) lo ...

Approximate Kron Reduction Methods for Electrical Networks With Applications to Plug-and-Play Control of AC Islanded Microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Michele Tucci, Alessandro Floriduz

Kron reduction (KR) is a methodology for analyzing an electrical network by replacing it with a simpler circuit having less nodes but the same terminal behavior of voltages and currents at target vertices. Existing approaches to instantaneous KR, however, ...

Stability Analysis of Primary Plug-and-Play and Secondary Leader-Based Controllers for DC Microgrid Clusters

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Michele Tucci, Andrea Martinelli, Renke Han

In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical control scheme for microgrid (MG) clusters, given by the interconnection of atomic dc MGs with ZIP loads, each composed by both grid-forming and grid-feeding converters. In the primary level, we develop a new Pl ...

Plug-and-play design of current controllers for grid-feeding converters in DC microgrids

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Michele Tucci, Raffaele Soloperto, Renke Han

In this paper, we address the problem of synthesizing decentralized current controllers for grid-feeding converters of current-controlled distributed generation units (CDGUs) in dc microgrids (MGs). Notably, a plug-and-play (PnP) design procedure is propos ...
