A decentralized current-sharing controller endows fast transient response to parallel DC–DC converters

Abstract:

This paper proposes a decentralized current-sharing control strategy to endow fast transient response to paralleled dc-dc converters systems, such as dc microgrids or distributed power systems. The proposed controller consist of two main control loops: an external voltage droop control for current-sharing proposes and an internal current loop. The external droop control loop is designed as a voltage loop with embedded virtual impedance, which avoids the use of a slow voltage loop and a separate extra virtual impedance loop that may limit the system bandwidth. The internal current loop, thanks to the external control loop simplification, plays a major role in the system bandwidth, so that an adaptive proportional-integral (PI) controller is proposed for this matter. In the paper, two different droop control methods have been modeling, designed, simulated, and tested: The conventional virtual-impedance-loop based V-I …
