Enhancing DC Microgrids Stability by Integrating DAB Converters with Consensus Algorithms for Bus Voltage Drop Mitigation

Renewable energy sources (RESs) have become a prominent trend in the development of energy systems in many countries. To manage RESs, microgrids have emerged as an efficient and optimal solution. However, a microgrid might occasionally have problems like overloading and voltage sag. To address this problem, this paper proposes a technique that combines a consensus algorithm and a dual active bridge (DAB) to transfer energy between two different microgrids. A detection technique for overloading and voltage sag is part of the proposed control approach. In these circumstances, the DAB facilitates consensus adjustments to the stable microgrid current to bring it into balance with the overloaded current. By applying this proposed control method, voltage drops are significantly reduced, leading to an improvement in the power system quality. The simulation results of the microgrid and a scaled‐down laboratory system are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed control scheme.
