Constant power loads may yield instability due to the well-known negative impedance characteristic. This paper analyzes the factors that cause instability of a dc microgrid with multiple dc-dc converters. Two stabilization methods are presented for two operation modes: 1) constant voltage source mode; and 2) droop mode, and sufficient conditions for the stability of the dc microgrid are obtained by identifying the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. The key is to transform the eigenvalue problem to a quadratic eigenvalue problem. When applying the methods in practical engineering, the salient feature is that the stability parameter domains can be estimated by the available constraints, such as the values of capacities, inductances, maximum load power, and distances of the cables. Compared with some classical methods, the proposed methods have wider stability region. The simulation results based on MATLAB/simulink platform verify the feasibility of the methods.
