Accurate Reactive Power Sharing in an Islanded Microgrid Using Adaptive Virtual Impedances

Abstract: In this paper, a reactive power sharing strategy that employs communication and the virtual impedance concept is proposed to enhance the accuracy of reactive power sharing in an islanded microgrid. Communication is utilized to facilitate the tuning of adaptive virtual impedances in order to compensate for the mismatch in voltage drops across feeders. Once the virtual impedances are tuned for a given load operating point, the strategy will result in accurate reactive power sharing even if communication is disrupted. If the load changes while communication is unavailable, the sharing accuracy is reduced, but the proposed strategy will still outperform the conventional droop control method. In addition, the reactive power sharing accuracy based on the proposed strategy is immune to the time delay in the communication channel. The sensitivity of the tuned controller parameters to changes in the system operating point is also explored. The control strategy is straightforward to implement and does not require knowledge of the feeder impedances. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy are validated using simulation and experimental results from a 2-kVA microgrid.

Active fault-tolerant control system against partial actuator failures

Abstract: A novel approach for integrated fault detection, diagnosis and reconfigurable control systems design against actuator faults is proposed. The scheme is based on a two-stage adaptive Kalman filter for simultaneous state and fault parameter estimation, statistical decisions for fault detection, and activation of controller reconfiguration. Using the information from the fault detection and diagnosis scheme, the reconfigurable feedback controller is designed automatically based on an eigenstructure assignment technique. To eliminate the steady-state tracking error, a reconfigurable feedforward controller is also incorporated using a command generator tracker technique. The following fault types and input signals are considered: abrupt and incipient, single, multiple and consecutive faults, constant and arbitrarily varying reference inputs. The effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed approach are demonstrated using an aircraft example.

A Survey of Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Techniques—Part I: Fault Diagnosis With Model-Based and Signal-Based Approaches

Abstract: With the continuous increase in complexity and expense of industrial systems, there is less tolerance for performance degradation, productivity decrease, and safety hazards, which greatly necessitates to detect and identify any kinds of potential abnormalities and faults as early as possible and implement real-time fault-tolerant operation for minimizing performance degradation and avoiding dangerous situations. During the last four decades, fruitful results have been reported about fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control methods and their applications in a variety of engineering systems. The three-part survey paper aims to give a comprehensive review of real-time fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control, with particular attention on the results reported in the last decade. In this paper, fault diagnosis approaches and their applications are comprehensively reviewed from model- and signal-based perspectives, respectively.

A Survey of Fault Detection, Isolation, and Reconfiguration Methods

Abstract: Fault detection, isolation, and reconfiguration (FDIR) is an important and challenging problem in many engineering applications and continues to be an active area of research in the control community. This paper presents a survey of the various model-based FDIR methods developed in the last decade. In the paper, the FDIR problem is divided into the fault detection and isolation (FDI) step, and the controller reconfiguration step. For FDI, we discuss various model-based techniques to generate residuals that are robust to noise, unknown disturbance, and model uncertainties, as well as various statistical techniques of testing the residuals for abrupt changes (or faults). We then discuss various techniques of implementing reconfigurable control strategy in response to faults.
