6 FAQs about [Decentralized Microgrids]

What is the difference between decentralized and distributed microgrid control?

The decentralized control is mainly applied in primary control, and distributed control is widely discussed in islanded microgrids. By leveraging different controller design strategies, the distributed and decentralized microgrid control can guarantee one or multiple control performances, however, along with noticeable weaknesses.

Why is a decentralized Microgrid Controller architecture important?

Using multiple sources with differing characteristics and native constraints makes it a challenge to control the microgrid. Compared to the traditional central controller approach, a decentralized microgrid controller architecture has benefits including resiliency to asset and communication failures, which are experimentally verified in the paper.

What are the three types of microgrid control?

From control perspective, dc microgrid control is divided into three categories : Centralized, distributed and decentralized control. In centralized control, control actions are determined by a central controller at the power management centre using global information obtained via communication channels.

How a decentralized optimal control technique is applied for distributed AC microgrid?

In , a robust decentralized optimal control technique is applied for distributed ac microgrid using a GPS-based communication channel for the controller. The power reference commands are generated by the power management system and communicated to local controllers via a low bandwidth communication channel.

Should centralized control methods be integrated into microgrids?

Furthermore, centralized control methods would face issues of scalability. Integrating a deeper penetration of DERs into microgrid will not only increase the communication burden of MGCC, but also raise the complexity of centralized optimization, impacting the convergence rate of the coordination process.

Is there a decentralized controller for an island microgrid?

A decentralized controller for an island microgrid is presented in Tucci et al. (2016). This controller has a general connection topology and uses the PLUG method which has offline control. To improve microgrid stability, there is a decentralized coordination control method in Cai et al. (2017) that uses V-I droop for PV cooperation in MGs.
