ABSTRACT
Centralized controllers gather system-wide data and require extensive communication networks to issue commands. All components of microgrids are commanded by communications from a single central controller. This chapter covers the tracking problems of voltage synchronization of multi-photovoltaic and multi-wind systems. It examines a network-based controller utilizing sampled data measurement and a controller using time-triggered zero-order hold (ZOH). The chapter provides a numerical example to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. It focuses on the centralized sampled-data controller design for multi-photovoltaic fuzzy system. The chapter explores the networked control problem for microgrids using a centralized framework. Each component in the microgrid is represented by a T-S model and exchanges its information through a digital channel with time delays.
