Description
Summary:This paper proposes a voltage compensator for converters in multi-converter DC microgrids (MG), which enhances the DC-MG behavior under fault conditions. Among the four existing categories in the classification of the faults, this paper focuses on those faults that affect voltage generation of converter-based distributed generation units (DGUs). Such faults conceptually occur from the terminal voltage reference to actual voltage generated by DGUs. To compensate the adverse effects of the faults, an adaptive scheme is proposed, which considers the most general case of the faults by using the time-varying multiplicative and additive fault models. The proposed scheme benefits from an integrated structure, which does not require separate fault detection, isolation, and identification blocks. As an advantage of the proposed approach, it is designed independent of the primary and secondary controllers of DGUs, and hence its performance is not affected by using different primary and secondary controllers. The effect
