In recent years, user-side energy storage has developed rapidly and is widely used to save electricity costs for industrial and commercial users. Compared with source-side and grid-side centralised energy storage, user-side energy storage is more decentralised, with smaller single capacity and larger quantity, which is not easy to carry out centralised regulation and control. In contrast, the distributedcontrol method has the characteristics of strong control robustness and stability, which is more suiTABLE as the SOC coordinated control of a large number of distributed energy storage. In this paper, a distributed energy storage SOC coordinated control algorithm based on improved consensus algorithm is designed, which can achieve SOC consensus control of multiple user-side energy storage, and compared with the centralised controlscheme, it has the features of small computation amount of the central controller and strong robustness of the controller. Simulation results show that the distributed energy storage SOC coordinated control algorithm based on the improved consensus algorithm designed in this paper can effectively achieve the consistent control of multiple user-side energy storage in the station area.

This article is concerned with the issue how to achieve proportional current sharing while realizing bus voltage balancing in DC microgrids, or vice versa. In order to address this issue, proportional current sharing is realized first and then the optimal bus voltage is obtained by using the least square method;Second, assuming that the bus voltage balancing is realized, the optimal current sharing is solved by using Lagrange multiplier method. It can be seen that the results of the two cases are identical. Then a global performance index relating to the generation capacities is presented to make an optimal decision on voltage balancing and current sharing. In order to decrease the communication burden, the distributed control schemes are proposed to replace centralized control strategies. It can be proved that the equilibrium points of distributedschemes are completely identical to the optimal solutions without significantly increasing system complexity. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed distributedschemes is shown via a simulation example.

Conventional droop control methods for power-sharing in a multi-terminal high voltage DC (MTDC) grid lead to voltage deviation from the nominal value. Moreover, the power-sharing is inaccurate in the droop-controlled MTDC system. This paper proposes a secondary controller with a distributed architecture to compensate the voltage deviation and to achieve equal power sharing automatically among the converter stations. A distributed observer is used to estimate the average voltage of the converter stations. The proposed distributedcontroller and observer use local measurements of output powers and voltages, and only communicate with neighboring stations. Therefore, the requirement of the global information in the centralized secondary controlschemes is eliminated, which reduces the communication requirement and improves the reliability of the MTDC grid. The case studies illustrate that the proposed distributedcontroller regulates the stations' average voltage and shares the power mismatch accurately. Impact of the communication time-delays and the control gain on stability of the MTDC grid are also investigated using the Lyapunov-KrasovskiiLMI condition. It is shown that reducing the control gain can stabilize the MTDC grid in the case of large communication time-delays.

Droop control by means of virtual resistance in control loop is applied for parallel operation of sources in order to minimize circulating currents. The droop control approach is widely used in DC microgrids. The conventional droop controlschemes are unable to mitigate trade-off between effective equal load-sharing (in per unit) and bus voltage regulation for unequal cable line parameters. The stability analysis becomes important when constant power loads (CPLs) are applied to DC bus due to the impact of the negative impedance of CPLs. In this paper, the distributed control scheme is proposed with a digital communication link for an averaging current signal to compensate the cable line voltage drop and load sharing error. The proposed controlscheme based on the hysteresis current controller is found robust in terms of simplex tuning procedure than conventional cascaded proportional integral controllers. The stability analysis of the DC microgrid is done with the effect of the proposed distributedcontroller and CPLs. This analysis covers a specific range of droop gain, communication time delay, and CPLs. The performance analysis of the system is done based on three source units and common CPL.

Coordinated reactive power regulation is always a critical issue when it comes to a system with a high penetration level of wind energy. This study provides a distributed control scheme for wind farm reactive power regulation, aiming to coordinate the reactive power reference among wind farm clusters. Within the limited communication among neighbouring clusters, fair reactive power generation sharing is achieved. Moreover, the reactive power capability of the wind turbine (WT) is utilised to cooperate with reactive power compensation devices. The characteristics of the collector system are analysed to improve the voltage profile. Instead of averagely assigning the generation order to each WT, the reference is assigned based on voltage sensitivity. Case studies are carried out to validate the performance of the proposed controlscheme.

The advance on smart grid calls for the development and application of distributed intelligent control strategies based on open platforms that provides interoperability. The distributedcontrol must be able to ensure reliable and secure operation of the power systems and enhance supply quality to consumers. The development of a multi-agent system for automatic restoration system (MARS) applied to a real power distribution network is presented. The agents of the MARS are embedded in external hardware to the intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and communicate with each other via standard Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents open protocols. To evaluate the MARS performance, a computer simulator was developed in Java to represent the distribution system. Experimental tests were performed in laboratory with the simulator integrated to the MARS via TCP/IP. The tests results have shown that the MARS was able to locate and isolate branches under permanent fault condition and restore healthy branches efficiently through a given switching sequence taking into account the system operational constraints. The proposed MARS has proved the effectiveness of distributed control scheme based on multi-agent system that runs independently of the current technologies of the IEDs of control and protection.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a distributed control scheme to maximize area coverage by a mobile robot network while ensuring reliable communication between the members of the team. The information that is generated at the sensors depends on the sensing capabilities of the sensors as well as on the frequency at which events occur in their vicinity, captured by appropriate probability density functions. This information is then routed to a fixed set of access points via a multihop network whose links model the probability that information packets are correctly decoded at their intended destinations. The proposed distributed control scheme simultaneously optimizes coverage and routing of information by decoupling coverage and routing control. Specifically, optimization of the communication variables is performed periodically in the dual domain. Then, between communication rounds, the robots move according to the solution of a distributed sequential concave program that handles efficiently the introduced nonlinearities in the mobility space. Our method is illustrated in computer simulations.

The authors consider a power system composed of several non-synchronous AC areas connected by a multi-terminal high-voltage direct current (HVDC) grid. In this context, the authors propose a distributed control scheme that modifies the power injections from the different AC areas into the DC grid so as to make the system collectively react to load imbalances. This collective reaction allows each individual AC area to downscale its primary reserves. The scheme is inspired by algorithms for the consensus problem extensively studied by the control theory community. It modifies the power injections based on frequency deviations of the AC areas so as to make them stay close to each other. A stability analysis of the closed-loop system is reported as well as simulation results on a benchmark power system with five AC areas. These results show that with proper tuning, the controlscheme makes the frequency deviations converge rapidly to a common value following a load imbalance in an area.

In this study, mathematical modelling and analysis for consensus problems will be conducted for a group of autonomous mobile agents with double-integrator dynamics and time-varying interconnection delays. To solve the problems, distributed control scheme for each agent will be proposed first. Then the consensus stability of the multi-agent system is obtained for the problem, where the dynamics of each agent is second-order with time-varying interconnection delays. In the convergence analysis, both fixed and switched interconnection topologies of the considered multi-agent system are investigated. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to validate the consensus algorithms.

For a string of pools with distant-downstream control, the internal time-delay for water transport from upstream to downstream not only limits the local control performance of regulating water-levels at setpoints and rejecting offtake disturbances in each pool, but also impacts the global performance of managing the water-level error propagation and attenuating the amplification of control actions in the upstream direction. A distributed control scheme which inherits the interconnection structure of the plant is studied. It is shown that the decoupling terms in the controller helps to improve global closed-loop performance by decreasing the low-frequency gain of the closed-loop coupling. Moreover, they compensate for the influence of the time-delay by imposing extra phase lead-lag compensation in the mid-frequency range on the closed-loop coupling function.
