This letter proposes a distributed secondary control for heterogeneous battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to achieve finite-time consensus in frequency and active power while maintaining a balanced energy-level. The proposed scheme incorporates heterogeneity in electrical as well as control aspects and models heterogeneous BESS-based islanded AC microgrid as a multi-agent system with agents interacting according to a detail-balanced topology with heterogeneous edge weights. The finite-time stability of the closed-loop system, under the proposed controllers, is rigorously proved by considering a single composite homogeneous Lyapunov function, thereby calculating an upper limit on convergence time. Efficacy of the proposed controllers is illustrated by simulating a BESS-based microgrid in a Simulink environment.
