 Abstract

Energy distribution systems are undergoing rapid change in terms of energy generation techniques and network topology. The shift towards sustainable energy generation leads to distributed energy networks, thereby replacing the old-fashioned centralized networks. A promising type of distributed network is the microgrid. A distributed topology has many benefits, but also introduces many challenges. One such a challenge is to attain a fair distribution of energy generation among the generation units in the network. In the thesis, the goal is to develop protocols which fairly distributed power generation in a DC microgrid. In the process, the theory of nonlinear consensus protocols is extended to aid the implementation of power consensus algorithms. Furthermore, the implementation of adaptive gain consensus protocols is investigated and new protocols of this type are proposed.
