6 FAQs about [Microgrid decentralized control architecture]

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.

Can microgrids be decentralized?

The decentralized control of a stable network of microgrids (i.e., minimal power outages and fluctuations) is a significant challenge.

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.

What is a decentralized control architecture?

In this paper, we present an architecture for decentralized control that consists of intelligent agents that manage the distribution network provided by the microgrids at the highest level and houses and their devices at the lowest level.

What are centralized and decentralized control functions in microgrids?

It presents the hierarchical control levels distinguished in Microgrids operation and discusses the principles and main functions of centralized and decentralized control, including forecasting and state estimation. Next, centralized control functions are analyzed and illustrated by a practical numerical example.

What is the difference between decentralized control and global microgrid management?

In decentralized control, the management and control of each microgrid are done locally by a private company (on that company’s server (s)) under that company’s policies. Still, global microgrid affairs (such as failure, power shortage management, etc.) are managed by interacting with other microgrids.
