Abstract
Consensus algorithm-based secondary control, such as virtual impedance, is typically used to achieve power-sharing and ensure stable operation in microgrids. The introduction of communication, however, increases the system's vulnerability. Communication failure, e.g., under cyber attack or disruption, can lead to a huge loss. To solve this, this article proposes a signal reconstruction approach for the miscommunicated signals. The power-sharing convergence, both in normal conditions and under communication failure, is analyzed via the Lyapunov method. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach are validated on a lab-scale microgrid.
