This paper presents a new distributed control scheme to achieve both accurate voltage restoration and precise current sharing for islanded dc microgrid (MG) system only with limited noncontinuous communication among the distributed generators (DGs). A two-layer multiagent framework is employed for this MG system, which consists of a physical layer and a cyber layer. A distributed voltage restoration control scheme is proposed in the cyber layer, where no overall system information is required and only dc bus voltage feedback is needed. Furthermore, by employing the idea of event-triggered communication, our proposed approach only relies on limited aperiodic communication, which greatly reduces the communication cost in the cyber layer. The stability of proposed method is analyzed through a Lyapunov function based approach and we also demonstrate that the Zeno behavior can be excluded if a proper event-triggered condition is established. Our proposed method is validated in an islanded dc MG test system built in the Simulink environment and an experimental prototype consisting of three DGs simultaneously.
