Abstract

DC microgrids have emerged as an appropriated solution to the world energy crisis by integrating renewable energy sources, storage devices and modern loads. One of the most critical issues of the DC microgrids is to remain stable after being subject to large disturbances such as changes in loads, switching operation modes and short circuit faults. In this paper we exploit contraction analysis of switching systems to guarantee proper performance and global stability of a DC microgrid integrated by a set of controlled DC-DC buck power converters. Analytical results of global stability for an all-to-all network of N DC-DC power converters in terms of the coupling strength are presented and validated numerically for a set of eight power converters.

This work was supported in part by University Antonio Nariño through the research project 2018216, and in part by the Council of the National research training (COLCIENCIAS) under the grant Call for PhD studies abroad Number 529.
