Abstract

In this study, a novel method based on μ analysis is presented to search for the upper/lower bounds of uncertainty parameters in microgrids (MGs). It is well known that uncertainty parameters have important effects in a MG, and they may cause instability. Previous studies have mainly focused on identifying the stability of a MG with its uncertainty parameters, but they did not address the problem of the upper/lower bounds of uncertainty parameters, i.e., how far the uncertainty parameters can be extended while the system remains stable in the small-signal sense. Thus, we developed an approach for identifying the bounds of uncertainty in MGs. In the current paper, first, a method is proposed for linear fractional transformation (LFT) configuration to express the uncertainty parameters, which makes the stability of the nominal MG system independent of any extension of the bounds. An algorithm based on this configuration is then designed to find the upper/lower bounds for both single parameter and multiple uncertainty parameters in a MG. Finally, the two cases are discussed, and the accuracy of the proposed method is confirmed using the conventional eigenvalue method.
