Abstract

We propose a consensus-based distributed voltage control (DVC), which solves the problem of reactive power sharing in autonomous meshed inverter-based microgrids with inductive power lines. Opposed to other control strategies available thus far, the DVC does guarantee reactive power sharing in steady-state while only requiring distributed communication among inverters, i.e. no central computing nor communication unit is needed. Moreover, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for local exponential stability. In addition, the performance of the proposed control is compared to the usual voltage droop control [1] in a simulation example based on the CIGRE benchmark medium voltage distribution network.
