This paper presents a linear droop control scheme based on the generation costs of DGs in an autonomous DC microgrid. Unlike the proportional power sharing of the conventional droop control, in the proposed control algorithm, the minimum output voltage range is adjusted and the droop coefficients are regulated according to the generation costs of DGs. As a result, the DGs with lower costs supplies more power in comparison with those with higher costs. Therefore, total generation cost of the system is reduced significantly. The proposed method is simple to implement and it does not require the centralized controller and communication links.

A microgrid (MG) with integrated renewable energy resources can benefit both utility companies and customers. As a result, they are attracting a great deal of attention. The control of a MG is very important for the stable operation of a MG. The droop-control method is popular since it avoids circulating currents among the converters without using any critical communication between them. Traditional droop control methods have the drawback of an inherent trade-off between power sharing and voltage and frequency regulation. An adaptive droop control method is proposed, which can operate in both the island mode and the grid-connected mode. It can also ensure smooth switching between these two modes. Furthermore, the voltage and frequency of a MG can be restored by using the proposed droop controller. Meanwhile, the active power can be dispatched appropriately in both operating modes based on the capacity or running cost of the Distributed Generators (DGs). The global information (such as the average voltage and output active power of the MG and so on) required by the proposed droop control method to restore the voltage and frequency deviations can be acquired distributedly based on the Multi Agent System (MAS). Simulation studies in PSCAD demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

거버너의 특성은 기관 운전에 큰 영향을 미치므로 이에 대한 운전자의 조정관리가 필요하나 PID 연산을 기초로 하는 디지털 거버너와 달리 유압식 거버너는 안정도의 조정 방식에서 큰 차이가 있다. 이러한 관계의 이해에는 실물장치의 유압식 거버너로 직접 실습하는 것이 효과적이나 엔진을 구동해야 하는 등 현실적인 어려움이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 모듈의 방법으로 안정도 등의 조정 실습이 가능하도록 주요 특성을 구현하였다. 거버너 모듈에는 스피드 설정, 스피드드룹 및 니들밸브와 보상포인터 등의 조정 파라미터가 포함되었으며 2차 함수의 엔진 전달함수를 결합하였다. 이로부터 안정도에 관련되는 조정 파라미터를 가변시킬 때 얻어지는 시스템에서의 속도 및 연료량의 응답 결과를 분석한 결과 제시된 모듈이 유압기계식 거버너의 제작자가 정하고 있는 니들밸브 및 보상지침의 일반적인 조정절차를 따라 조정 실습이 가능한 특성을 나타낸다는 것을 확인하였다.
