Abstract
This study proposes a cooperative secondary voltage and frequency control strategy to reduce the number of controller updates by using an event-triggered approach. The proposed approach is applied to the secondary control that will offset primary control deviations in islanded microgrids with limited computation resources. The controller updating mechanism considered here is event-triggered which judges whether a certain measurement error has reached the event-triggered condition (ETC) associated with the norm of a function with a standard state. We consider two secondary control options to form an ETC, which include a centralized strategy in which an auxiliary controller would collect all agents’ states, and a distributed control strategy which only require the neighboring agents information. The corresponding stability and convergence analyses are presented and simulation results for an islanded microgrid test system consisting of four distributed generators (DGs) are provided. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies and show that the proposed strategies based on an event-triggered approach can dramatically reduce controller updates.Keywords
