Abstract

In this letter, a robust distributed hybrid algorithm is proposed for the primary and secondary control loops of an island AC-bus microgrid to provide large-signal stability of the complete system. A secondary control loop is designed from droop control and multi-agent systems theory to ensure that the State Of Charge (SOC) of the batteries in discharging mode converges to a consensus. Furthermore, this distributed strategy ensures robustness with respect to any plug-and-play event or communication failure. The DC-AC power converter of each battery in discharging mode is controlled in the primary loop by using hybrid dynamical system theory, which considers non-trivial issues in the model (switching and affine terms) and in the signals (constraints in the dwell time). A suited selection of gains allows using singular perturbation analysis to provide large-signal stability properties for the complete nonlinear model.
