In microgrid, a severe problem occurs in terms of voltage oscillations due to mismatch between synchronizing and damping torque. In this study, a centralized nonlinear sliding mode voltage controller proposes to minimize the rotor and DC voltage oscillations issue in an islanded microgrid. The linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique has been applied for bounding the state error. Lyapunov criteria is utilized for assurance of asymptotic convergence and LMI optimization approach is used for obtaining the controller parameters. The proposed controller is able to tackle the parametric uncertainties of diesel generator, oscillations of rotor and voltage fluctuation as well as the closed-loop system responses also improves both transient responses and steady state responses simultaneously. The simulation results authenticate that the proposed controller confirms speedy recovery of nominal frequency without any oscillations and reduced the limitation of chattering notably without any loss in control accuracy. The performance and robustness of the proposed controller is also compared with conventional controllers.
