It is known that constant power loads (CPLs) can yield instability in dc-power systems under certain operating conditions. This instability phenomenon is due to the interaction between the dc-grid and the negative input impedance characteristic of the CPLs. Dynamic behavior and stability analysis of a dc-microgrid with CPLs is presented in this paper. Then, a method to design a fault-tolerant stabilizing system for a dc-microgrid with CPLs is presented. It consists in implementing a local stabilizing agent on each CPL. Then, a method to design the stabilizing system is proposed. The method is based on the definition and resolution of a constrained optimization problem. It permits to consider several fault scenarios, such as the electrical reconfiguration of the dc-microgrid, or the failure of an agent. To illustrate the method%26apos;s effectiveness, it has been implemented and experimentally tested on a test bed.
