Abstract: In the DC microgrid system, the bidirectional DC/DC converter is one of the most important components; thus, research on its control strategy has attracted widespread attention. Firstly, the single bidirectional DC/DC converter based on a sliding mode (variable structure) control (SMC) strategy exhibits an inherent contradiction between the reaching time and the chattering phenomenon. In order to address this problem, an SMC strategy based on the improved exponential reaching law was designed. This control strategy modifies the constant-speed reaching term and introduces the system state variable to indicate the chattering level, which not only improves the dynamic performance of the bidirectional DC/DC converter but also suppresses the chattering problem. Secondly, the bidirectional DC/DC converter group based on the traditional droop control strategy exhibits an inherent contradiction between load power allocation and bus voltage stabilization. In order to address this problem, an improved droop control strategy that takes the line impedance characteristics into account is proposed. This control strategy modifies the traditional droop control strategy by introducing virtual resistance and uses DC bus voltage information to replace the line impedance value. This ensures the accuracy of power allocation and stability of the DC bus voltage simultaneously. Finally, the stability of each designed strategy is verified individually. The combination of the two control strategies is applied to a group of bidirectional DC/DC converters group to conduct a semi-physical simulation experiment, and the results verify that the proposed control strategies are effective and feasible.
