Voltage regulation and enhance load sharing in DC microgrid based on Particle Swarm Optimization in marine applications

In this paper, the droop gain and voltage reference are optimized to help of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique such that the effect of the line impedances is minimized which is well accommodated for marine applications. An optimization problem is formulated with necessary constraints for various loads. The performance of the droop controller with the optimal droop parameters of dc distributed control scheme is verified through a simulation implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.
