Current-Limiting Droop Control Design and Stability Analysis for Paralleled Boost Converters in DC Microgrids
In this brief, a novel current-limiting droop controller for paralleled dc-dc boost converters loaded by constant impedance Z, constant current I, or constant power P loads in a dc microgrid is proposed to guarantee closed-loop stability and power sharing. Using an improved version of the recently proposed nonlinear current-limiting controller, an inherent current-limiting property is guaranteed for each converter independently of the load type or magnitude variations. Then, sufficient conditions to ensure closed-loop stability for the entire dc microgrid system with a constant Z, I, or P load are analytically obtained. Hence, compared with existing droop control methodologies, the proposed controller ensures accurate power sharing, tight voltage regulation, and closed-loop stability with a current limitation when connected to Z, I, or P load, for multiple paralleled boost converters, which introduce nonlinear dynamics. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller and the stability analysis, simulation results for the three parallel operated dc-dc boost converters with Z, I, and P loads and experimental results for two parallel operated dc-dc boost converters with a P load are performed under several changes of the load power demand.
