A centralized secondary control is utilized in a DC islanded microgrid to fine-tune voltage levels following the implementation of droop control. This is done to avoid conflicts between current allocation and voltage adjustments. However, because it introduces a single point of failure, a distributed secondary control is preferred. This paper introduces a consensus-based secondary distributed control approach to restore critical bus voltages to their nominal values and properly distribute current among converters. The critical bus takes the lead in voltage adjustments, with only connected energy resources contributing to regulation. The microgrid is represented as an undirected graph to facilitate consensus building. Two adjustment terms, delta v and delta i, are generated to assist in returning voltage to its nominal level and correctly allocating current among energy resources. To enhance consistency and improve controller performance compared to those reported in existing literature, all buses are connected to a leader node. In the event of the failure of all converters except one, voltage can still be effectively restored. MATLAB-Simulink simulations are conducted on two medium-voltage DC (MVDC) microgrids to validate the efficiency of the proposed control method. The results confirmed that the proposed control method can effectively maintain voltage stability and enhance the precise distribution of current among agents by 8%.

The current centralized model of the electricity market is not efficient in performing distributed energy transactions required for the transactive smart grid. One of the prominent solutions to this issue is to integrate blockchain technologies, which promise transparent, tamper-proof, and secure transaction systems specifically suitable for the decentralized and distributed energy markets. Blockchain has already been shown to successfully operate in a microgrid peer-to-peer (P2P) energy market. The prime determinant of different blockchain implementations is the consensus algorithm they use to reach consensus on which blocks/transactions to accept as valid in a distributed environment. Although different blockchain implementations have been proposed independently for P2P energy market in the microgrid, quantitative experimental analyses and comparison of the consensus algorithms that the different blockchains may use for energy markets, has not been studied. Identifying the right consensus algorithm to use is essential for scalability and operation of the energy market. To this end, we evaluate three popular consensus algorithms: (i) proof of work (PoW), (ii) proof of authority (PoA), and (iii) Istanbul Byzantine fault tolerance (IBFT), running them on a network of nodes set up using a network of docker nodes to form a microgrid energy market. Using a series of double auctions, we assess each algorithm's viability using different metrics, such as time to reach consensus and scalability. The results indicate that PoA is the most efficient and scalable consensus algorithm to hold double auctions in the smart grid. We also identified the minimum hardware specification necessary for devices such as smart meters, which may run these consensus algorithms.
