The microgrid is a typical cyber-physical microgrid system(CPMS). The physical unconventional distributed generators(DGs) are intermittent and inverter-interfaced which makes them very different to control. The cyber components,such as the embedded computer and communication network,are equipped with DGs, to process and transmit the necessary information for the controllers. In order to ensure system-wide observability, controllability and stabilization for the microgrid,the cyber and physical component need to be integrated. For the physical component of CPMS, the droop-control method is popular as it can be applied in both modes of operation to improve the grid transient performance. Traditional droop control methods have the drawback of the inherent trade-off between power sharing and voltage and frequency regulation. In this paper, the global information(such as the average voltage and the output active power of the microgrid and so on) are acquired distributedly based on multi-agent system(MAS). Based on the global information from cyber components of CPMS, automatic generation control(AGC) and automatic voltage control(AVC)are proposed to deal with the drawback of traditional droop control. Simulation studies in PSCAD demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.

This paper focuses on the energy optimal operation problem of microgrids(MGs) under stochastic environment.The deterministic method of MGs operation is often uneconomical because it fails to consider the high randomness of unconventional energy resources.Therefore,it is necessary to develop a novel operation approach combining the uncertainty in the physical world with modeling strategy in the cyber system.This paper proposes an energy scheduling optimization strategy based on stochastic programming model by considering the uncertainty in MGs.The goal is to minimize the expected operation cost of MGs.The uncertainties are modeled based on autoregressive moving average(ARMA) model to expose the effects of physical world on cyber world.Through the comparison of the simulation results with deterministic method,it is shown that the effectiveness and robustness of proposed stochastic energy scheduling optimization strategy for MGs are valid.
