Abstract

This paper proposes a nonuniform delay-dependent robust secondary voltage control strategy with a finite-time voltage reference observer for an islanded microgrid. A discrete-time consensus algorithm is introduced to track the output voltage. By model transformation, a closed-loop microgrid control system is obtained. And then, the corresponding global stability and robust performance analysis theorems are derived. After implementing a series of trial studies, the impacts of secondary voltage control gains, sampling time on energy-to-peak robust performance are obtained. And the feasible optimal voltage control gains can be derived. Besides, a distributed cooperative secondary frequency control is introduced. Simulations of a four inverter-based microgrid test system are presented to verify the control performance. The simulation results indicate that our proposed method can maintain accurate voltage/frequency restoration and active power sharing. In addition, the voltage control gain parameters, arbitrary nonuniform time delays, and especially sampling time effects on the secondary voltage control performance are also verified.
