Abstract

Negative incremental impedance of regulated converter loads can cause stability problems in distributed dc power systems. Since the load-side conveners usually contain energy storage elements, it is possible to avoid instability through transient control of the load-side convener input impedance. In this paper, bus-side stability is used as a control constraint. It is shown that load-side convener control-loop gain can be modified to improve stability characteristics, or even actively controlled to meet given impedance specifications.
