Active disturbance rejection control of photovoltaic microgrids based on disturbance compensation and feed-forward correction strategy

Abstract Photovoltaic microgrid (PV) is a promising direction of new energy generation technology. However, due to the performance of low-voltage side interface affected by complex disturbance, PV microgrid has the problem of output voltage fluctuation, which will make the power quality not guaranteed. In order to stabilize the low-voltage side load supply, the active disturbance rejection control strategy with disturbance compensation and feed-forward correction (ADRC-DCFC) is proposed. By expanding the conventional state observer (ESO) dimension, a feed-forward correction link for disturbance tracking compensation is added. In contrast, the internal deviations extracted from the system model are actively added to the disturbance compensation link. In addition, a theoretical analysis of its disturbance observation performance and noise suppression performance is presented. Experimental results on a 300-watt test platform verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the ADRC-DCFC.
