Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secondary control problems of AC microgrids with physical states (i.e., voltage, frequency and power, etc.) constrained in the process of actual control, namely, under the condition of state constraint. On the basis of the primary control (i.e., droop control), the control signals generated by distributed secondary control algorithm are used to solve the problems of voltage and frequency recovery and power allocation for each distributed generators (DGs). Therefore, the model predictive control (MPC) with the mechanism of rolling optimization is adopted in the second control layer to achieve the above control objectives and solve the physical state constraint problem at the same time. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the communication cost, we designed the self-triggered control based on the prediction mechanism of MPC. In addition, the proposed algorithm of self-triggered MPC does not need sampling and detection at any time, thus avoiding the design of observer and reducing the control complexity. In addition, the Zeno behavior is excluded through detailed analysis. Furthermore, the stability of the algorithm is verified by theoretical derivation of Lyapunov. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm is proved by simulation.
