Abstract:
DC microgrids deploy hierarchical control to achieve decoupling design in different time scales for different control objectives, where the droop strategy is widely used in the primary control for autonomous current sharing of voltage modules in parallel. While the improvement of current sharing relies on the increase of the droop coefficient, this will also produce large voltage drop. In this paper, a piecewise linear droop control (PWLDC) with multi-level feedforward compensation of bus voltage for DC microgrid is proposed, where the droop coefficient can be flexibly configured according to partition of load range and bus voltage deviation be compensated by multi-level feedforward of reference. In the primary level, the current sharing performance of parallel module and voltage regulation can be solved at the same time. Finally, a laboratory prototype is designed and the control strategy is validated by experimental results.
