Abstract

The current study proposes a strategy for sensing fault detection in the secondary control of an isolated Microgrid based on a high-order Sliding Mode Robust Observers design. The proposed strategy’s main objective is to support future diagnostic and fault tolerance systems in handling these extreme situations. The proposal is based on a generation system and a waste management system. Four test scenarios were generated in a typical Microgrid to validate the designed strategy, including two Battery Energy Storage Systems in parallel, linear, and non-linear loads. The scenarios included normal grid operation and three types of sensing faults (abrupt, incipient, and random) directly affecting the secondary control of a hierarchical control strategy. The results showed that the proposed strategy could provide a real-time decision for detection and reduce the occurrence of false alarms in this process. The effectiveness of the fault detection strategy was verified and tested by digital simulation in Matlab/Simulink R2023b.
