Abstract :
We describe an adapted robust control technique for analyzing microgrid stability under the uncertainty of renewable sources and loads. Two realistic case studies are presented to demonstrate the method´s effectiveness as a tool for system design and analysis. Results show that the method is able to provide a non-trivial lower bound for the minimum damping ratio of the system, and can find the unstable instances missed by Monte Carlo approaches.
