Situated atop a primary voltage\ncontrol layer, our secondary controllers have a distributed structure, and\nutilize information exchanged over a communication network to compute necessary\ncontrol actions. Besides showing that the desired objectives are always\nattained in steady state, we deduce sufficient conditions for the existence and\nuniqueness of an equilibrium point for constant power loads -- E loads with\nzero exponent. Our control design hinges only on the local parameters of the\ngeneration units, facilitating plug-and-play operations. We provide a voltage\nstability analysis, and illustrate the performance and robustness of our\ndesigns via simulations. All results hold for arbitrary, albeit connected,\nmicrogrid and communication network topologies.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/2007.10134v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.10134v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"consensus-based-current-sharing-and-voltage","repo_url":"https://github.com/msturan/consensus_DCmG_simulations","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
