Leveraging hybrid energy storage for distributed secondary frequency regulation with consensus-driven event-triggered approach

This work focuses on enhancing microgrid resilience through a combination of effective frequency regulation and optimized communication strategies within distributed control frameworks using hybrid energy storages. Through the integration of distributed model predictive control (MPC) for frequency regulation and the implementation of an event-triggered control scheme to mitigate communication delays, the proposed dual-stage methodology showcases significant improvements in microgrid stability under dynamic operating conditions and communication constraints. Results indicate a notable reduction in communication overhead by up to 28.3%, alongside enhanced resource utilization, leading to improved grid resilience. Additionally, the study demonstrates a 14.85% increase in overall system performance and a 20% decrease in response time to system disturbances. The proposed approach emphasizes improved grid stability and resilience amid uncertainties. The findings highlight the importance of robust control strategies and communication optimization in fostering microgrid resilience, highlighting the potential of distributed control frameworks to address operational challenges and advance grid resilience.
