With the penetration of renewable generation and tightly regulated power electronic loads, quality stability modern dc microgrids are greatly challenged. To solve this problem, energy storage systems (ESSs) widely proposed. Unfortunately, most existing control methods for ESSs can only ensure with small signal disturbances, which may not be satisfying real-time applications where large disturbances exist. Moreover, they usually designed low boost ratio converters, negating their suitability...
