Distributed Event-Triggered Secondary Recovery Control for Islanded Microgrids

Distributed cooperative control methods are widely used in the islanded microgrid control system. To solve the deviation of frequency and voltage caused by the droop control, it is necessary to recovery the frequency and voltage to the rated value using a secondary control strategy. However, the traditional communication method relies on the continuous periodic one, which makes the communication burden of the islanded microgrid system heavy and conflicts with the actual operation of the power grid. Using the secondary recovery control method based on the distributed event-triggered method, we conserve communication resources by reducing the number of transmissions of sampled data and achieving the recovery control of the frequency and voltage and the original proportional sharing of active power. In addition, we analyze the stability of the distributed event-triggered strategy and build a microgrid system with MATLAB/Simulink to verify the effectiveness of the control method. Furthermore, we compare with a traditional periodic communication system and demonstrate the superiority of our distributed event-triggered approach.
