Abstract: Microgrids are networked control systems with multiple distributed generators (DGs). Microgrids are associated with many problems, such as communication delays, high sampling rates, and frequent controller updates, which make it challenging to realize coordination control among the DGs. Therefore, finite-time consensus algorithms and event-triggered control methods are combined to propose a distributed coordination control method for microgrid systems. The DG in the microgrid system serves as an agent node in the control network, and a distributed secondary controller is designed using finite-time consensus algorithm, such that the frequency and voltage restoration control has a faster convergence time and better anti-interference performance. The event-triggered function was designed based on the state information of the agents. The controller exchanges the state information at the trigger instants. System stability is analyzed using the Lyapunov stability theory, and it is verified that the controller cannot exhibit the Zeno phenomenon in the event-triggered process. A simulation platform was developed in Matlab/Simulink to verify that the proposed control method can effectively reduce the frequency of controller updates during communication delays and the burden on the communication network.
