Abstract

In this paper we study a distributed control scheme, achieving current or power sharing and average voltage regulation in Direct Current (DC) microgrids. The considered DC microgrid is composed of several Distributed Generation Units (DGUs) interconnected, through resistive-inductive power lines, with loads. Each DGU includes a generic energy source that supplies the loads through a DC-DC buck converter. Remarkably, the proposed control scheme achieves average voltage regulation without the need of voltage measurements. An experimental validation is performed to assess the capabilities of the solution in a real network. The initial results are promising and show an additional need to compensate for a partly unknown resistances present at the DGUs.
