Stability of meshed DC microgrids using Probabilistic Analysis

We analyze the stability of meshed DC microgrids using the proposed Probabilistic Analysis of Deterministic Systems (PADeS). By sampling a random distribution of networks as well as disturbances, we make probabilistic statements valid for two- (ring) and three-valent (meshed) networks. The producing nodes are droop controlled sources and the consuming nodes are modeled as constant power loads (CPLs). We introduce basin stability and survivability as probabilistic stability measures within the PADeS framework and illustrate that it has a large potential for understanding the properties of DC microgrids and beyond. To show this, we run numerical experiments with 128-node networks and 1000 samples for the system's probability (a) to return to a stable equilibrium point after a perturbation (basin stability) and (b) to remain within defined operational bounds for disturbances such as sudden load power increase, line outages and short circuits at random nodes or power lines (survivability).
