Speech Title: Distributed Control of DC Microgrid: The Concepts of VVD and VCD
Abstract: The direct current (DC) microgrid is gaining increasing attention in modern power systems. A key challenge in the operation of DC microgrids is ensuring proper current sharing among converters. While this issue is typically addressed using droop control, the resulting voltage deviations in the DC bus require compensation. To address this challenge, two novel concepts—Virtual Voltage Drop (VVD) and Virtual Current Directive (VCD)—are proposed. By dynamically averaging VVD and VCD, both current sharing and voltage stability can be effectively maintained. Moreover, a relaxed upper bound for the constant power loads can also be obtained. Simulation and experimental results will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
