Abstract

For the dc microgrid system with constant power loads (CPLs), the dc bus voltage can easily cause high-frequency oscillation owing to the complicated impedance interactions. The large line inductance and the CPL-side capacitance will form an undamped LC circuit on the dc bus, which, together with the CPL, will make the system fall into the negative-damping region, thus causing the system instability. To address this problem, a virtual negative inductor (VNI) is built on the source side converter in this paper, which can effectively counteract the large line inductance, thus alleviating the instability problem. Moreover, a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) is proposed for estimating the converter output current, which relieves the strong dependence of the proposed VNI strategy on the output current measurement. And the proposed strategy is implemented in a totally decentralized manner, thus alleviating the single-point-failure problem in the central controller. For assuring the optimal parameter value for the proposed stabilizing strategy, a system root-locus diagram based parameter designing approach is adopted. And comparative Nyquist diagram based stability analyses are taken for studying the robustness of the proposed strategy to the system perturbations. Finally, detailed real-time simulations are conducted for validating the effectiveness of the proposed stabilizing strategy.
