Abstract
Microgrids are an emerging source for emergency as well as remote load centers power supply. It provides power security with generation from the locally available resources. The most probably the resources used for power generation are renewable sources. Where at certain time of a day power production of renewable dependent source may reduce to zero. A centralized controller may handle such problems. However, distributed control under plug and play of DG units is very difficult task in renewable dependent microgrid. In this paper, a consensus-based distributed secondary controller adaptive to switching communication topology is designed for enhanced performance and reliable power supply. The load requirements along with the local load are met satisfactorily by the distributed control strategy devised in this paper. The simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed control strategy to achieve global voltage regulation and proportional load sharing when there is frequent change in the number of DGs operating in a microgrid.
