Abstract:

Though voltage-regulation and current-sharing of distributed generations (DGs) in dc-microgrids have been widely studied, additional communication links or independent modulation circuit should be added to achieve information transmission. To accomplish precise current-sharing/voltage-regulation without additional communication devices, this article proposes a communication-free intelligent edge control regarding voltage and current for dc-microgrids. First, the power-information dual modulation (PIDM) is designed to achieve information exchange among DGs and eliminate additional communication devices. Second, the cooperative control problem with two coupled targets, i.e., accurate voltage-regulation and current-sharing, is converted into a matter of optimal control. Therefore, the voltage-regulation and current-sharing could be solved concurrently. In addition, the control objective function of each DG is switched to provide the optimal controller and minimize the voltage/current control deviation, which is further switched to solve the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) function. In order to solve this HJB function, which is difficult to obtain analytical solution, an intelligent edge control strategy with PIDM is proposed to solve the HJB function. Therefore, the precise voltage-regulation and current-sharing can be accomplished. Finally, the proposed control approach is verified through simulation results.
