SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN ADVANCED DISTRIBUTED MULTI-AGENT CONSENSUS BASED-VIRTUAL INERTIA CONTROLLER FOR LOW INERTIAL MICROGRIDS

A device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling a power distribution system includes an islanded microgrid and a control system. The islanded microgrid includes battery energy storage systems (BESSs) that operate as a primary energy source, and a decentralized consensus-based virtual synchronous generator (VSG). The control system simultaneously, emulates inertial response of a synchronous generator by the virtual synchronous generator during grid disruptions to regulate and stabilizes frequency of the islanded microgrid, and maintain consensus among the plurality of battery energy storage systems (BESSs).
