DC microgrid is a high-efficiency plan for exploiting and controlling distributed generation (DG) resources that can supply local loads in grid-connected or islanded mode. Conventionally, the droop control method is utilized to attain proper load sharing among the DGs as a decentralized approach in DC microgrids. However, accurate current sharing among DG units with different line resistances is not achievable by the conventional droop control, whereas this method also increases the DC bus voltage deviation. In this paper, a new droop-based distributed control method is proposed in the secondary control level to overcome the limitations of droop control. To implement the proposed method, only the amount of precalculated virtual voltage drop of DG units is shared with adjacent DGs through a low-bandwidth communication, and other calculations are local. So, there is no need to define and share new parameters, and get feedback from the DC bus voltage. By employing the proposed method, not only accurate current sharing among the DG units is guaranteed but also DC bus voltage is restored to the nominal value. To ensure the stability of the proposed method, the robust stability and performance of the closed-loop system are analyzed by structured singular value (µ) under resistive load and communication delay changes. Finally, a DC microgrid is evaluated using MATLAB/Simulink as well as experimental tests to illustrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.
