Nowadays, the rise of DC loads along with distributed energy resources (DERs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) have led to a growing interest in using direct current (DC) microgrid systems. Conventional droop control methods face significant limitations when applied to parallel-connected distributed generation (DG) units, particularly in achieving balanced power sharing and minimizing voltage deviations. To overcome this issue, an enhanced power sharing control method is proposed in this paper to address load sharing in parallel-connected DG units based DC microgrids, considering unmatched line impedance and load variation. The enhanced control method aims to achieve balanced load power sharing and voltage control through the use of a Luenberger observer to estimate the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) bus voltage and accordingly estimate the voltage deviation. The proposed method compensates for the effects of unmatched line impedances and dynamic load variations, enabling accurate power sharing and precise DC bus voltage regulation. Various scenarios are studied to evaluate the performance of the proposed method under different operating conditions including system and load parameters variations. Finally, the performance of the proposed control method was validated through real-time simulation using OPAL-RT target, and compared with conventional droop control approaches. Full article

Flexible DC grids are an important technological means for optimizing power supply structures and promoting energy transition. However, as a system with low inertia and weak damping, the flexible DC grid inherently faces challenges, such as rapid rising of fault currents, vulnerability to significant damage, difficulty in fault interruption, and with regard to the poor overcurrent-withstanding capabilities of power electronic devices. To address these issues, this paper proposes a method for calculating the single-pole ground fault current in a symmetrical monopolar DC grid, and further introduces a matrix exponential calculation method. This method enables quantitative analysis of the influence of various component parameters on the fault current, taking into account the dynamic characteristics of both the faulted and healthy poles in the DC system. The results demonstrate the high accuracy of this calculation method. The analysis reveals that the inductance of the faulted branch has the greatest impact on the fault current, while the inductances of the adjacent outgoing lines also have a certain influence. In contrast, the inductances of lines not adjacent to the faulted branch have minimal impacts on the fault current. Furthermore, the grounding electrode parameters of the converter station connected to the faulted branch exert the most significant influence on the fault current, with the grounding electrode parameters of neighboring converter stations also showing a notable effect. This indicates that the fault current is impacted by the topology of the nearby DC grid, but is not affected by the fault currents at remote converter stations. Full article

Decentralized control offers a more effective way to avoid the complexities and coordination challenges encountered in centralized control. In the decentralized design of additional controllers for multi-infeed DC transmission systems, it is crucial to focus on the interactions among the controllers. To solve this problem, this paper primarily discusses an enhanced damping characteristic method for hybrid AC-DC systems based on an improved Effective Relative Gain Array (ERGA) index. Initially, feedback signals with better control effects on existing oscillation modes are pre-screened. Subsequently, the ERGA-based interaction index is utilized to pair these feedback signals with control locations, aiming to identify the optimal pairing scheme with the minimum index value, indicating the least interaction effect. This approach minimizes the mutual influence between loops and reduces adverse interactions among controllers. Simulations of multi-DC additional damping controllers designed using the multi-stage Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) method in a multi-DC system demonstrate that the optimal pairing scheme significantly outperforms both uncontrolled and poorly paired schemes in controlling low-frequency oscillations, thereby validating the optimality of the proposed method. Furthermore, various disturbances are introduced to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy against low-frequency oscillations. Full article
