Abstract: DC microgrids (MGs) have gained significant attention due to their ability to complement renewable energy generation. In order to improve the operational stability of DC MGs, a predefined-time-based secondary controller is proposed to restore voltage drops caused by droop control and achieve current allocation among agents according to expected ratios. To conserve communication resources, the communication topology is established as a directed network. Each distributed generator (DG) receives voltage and current information from neighboring devices and uses its own current and voltage regulators to achieve control objectives. Compared to existing controllers, the convergence time upper bound of the proposed approach is independent of the initial value and can be directly adjusted as a parameter. The stability of the proposed control strategy is then verified using Lyapunov theory. Finally, hardware-in-loop test results are conducted to validate the performance of the control strategy, and its superiority is demonstrated through comparison with existing control methods.
