LFC regulates the frequency of larger interconnected power systems and keeps the net interchange of power between the pool members at predetermined values for the corresponding changes in load demand. In this paper, the two-area, hydrothermal deregulated power system is considered with Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) in both the areas. RFB is an energy storage device, which converts electrical energy into chemical energy, that is used to meet the sudden requirement of real power load and hence very effective in reducing the peak shoots. With conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller, it is difficult to get the optimum solution. Hence, intelligent techniques are used to tune the PI controller of the LFC to improve the dynamic response. In the family of intelligent techniques, a recent nature inspired algorithm called the Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) gives the global minima solution. The optimal value of the controller is determined by minimizing the ISE. The results show that the proposed FPA tuned PI controller improves the dynamic response of the deregulated system faster than the PI controller for different cases. The simulation is implemented in MATLAB environment.展开更多

These shar...The deregulation of the electricity market made the open communication infrastructure an exigent need for future power system. In this scenario dedicated communication links are replaced by shared networks. These shared networks are characterized by random time delay and data loss. The random time delay and data loss may lead to system instability if they are not considered during the controller design stage. Load frequency control systems used to rely on dedicated communication links. To meet future power system challenges these dedicated networks are replaced by open communication links which makes the system stochastic. In this paper, the stochastic stabilization of load frequency control system under networked environment is investigated. The shared network is represented by three states which are governed by Markov chains. A controller synthesis method based on the stochastic stability criteria is presented in the paper. A one-area load frequency control system is chosen as case study. The effectiveness of the proposed method for the controller synthesis is tested through simulation. The derived proportion integration （PI） controller proves to be optimum where it is a compromise between compensating the random time delay effects and degrading the system dynamic performance. The range of the PI controller gains that guarantee the stochastic stability is determined. Also the range of the PI controller gains that achieve the robust stochastic stability is determined where the decay rate is used to measure the robustness of the system.展开更多

The delay margin of the system with fractional-order PI control has been obtained for various fractional integral orders and the effect of them has been shown on the delay margin as a third controller parameter. Furthermore,the stability of the system that is either under or over the delay margin is examined by generalized modified Mikhailov criterion.The stability results obtained have been confirmed numerically in time domain. It is demonstrated that the proposed controller for delayed LFC system provides more flexibility on delay margin according to integer-order PI controller.展开更多

The optimal value of the controller is determined by minimizing the ISE. The results show that the proposed FPA tuned PI controller improves the dynamic response of the deregulated system faster than the PI controller for different cases. The simulation is implemented in MATLAB environment.

文摘Open communication system in modern power systems brings concern about information staleness which may cause power system frequency instability.The information staleness is often characterized by communication delay.However,communication delay is a packet-centered metric and cannot reflect the requirement of information freshness for load frequency control(LFC).This paper introduces the age of information(AoI),which is more compre-hensive and informative than the conventional communication delay modeling method.An LFC controller and com-munication are integrated into the design for LFC performance improvement.An AoI-aware LFC model is formulated first,and considering each allowable update period of the smart sensor,different AoI-aware PI controllers are then designed according to the exponential decay rate.The right AoI-aware controller and update period are selected according to the degree of frequency fluctuation of the power system.Case studies are carried out on one-area and two-area power systems.The results show the superior performance of the AoI-aware controllers in comparison to the delay-dependent controllers.

文摘Using an islanded microgrid(MG)with large-scale integration of renewable energy is the most popular way of solving the reliable power supply problem for remote areas and critical electrical users.However,compared with traditional power systems,the limited spinning reserves and network communication bandwidth may cause weak frequency stability in the presence of stochastic renewable active outputs and load demand fluctuations.In this paper,an adap-tive event-triggered control(ETC)strategy for a load frequency control(LFC)system in an islanded MG is proposed.First,a bounded adaptive event-triggered communication scheme is designed.This not only saves on network resources,but also ensures that the control center has a sensitive monitoring ability for the MG operating status when the frequency deviations have been effectively damped.Secondly,by fully considering the spinning reserve con-straints and uncertain communication delays,the LFC system is described as a nonlinear model with saturation terms.Design criteria for ETC parameters are strictly deduced based on Lyapunov stability theory.Finally,an ETC parameter optimization algorithm based on random direction search is developed to reconcile the bandwidth occupancy and control performance.The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in an MG test system.
文摘The deregulation of the electricity market made the open communication infrastructure an exigent need for future power system. In this scenario dedicated communication links are replaced by shared networks. These shared networks are characterized by random time delay and data loss. The random time delay and data loss may lead to system instability if they are not considered during the controller design stage. Load frequency control systems used to rely on dedicated communication links. To meet future power system challenges these dedicated networks are replaced by open communication links which makes the system stochastic. In this paper, the stochastic stabilization of load frequency control system under networked environment is investigated. The shared network is represented by three states which are governed by Markov chains. A controller synthesis method based on the stochastic stability criteria is presented in the paper. A one-area load frequency control system is chosen as case study. The effectiveness of the proposed method for the controller synthesis is tested through simulation. The derived proportion integration （PI） controller proves to be optimum where it is a compromise between compensating the random time delay effects and degrading the system dynamic performance. The range of the PI controller gains that guarantee the stochastic stability is determined. Also the range of the PI controller gains that achieve the robust stochastic stability is determined where the decay rate is used to measure the robustness of the system.

文摘False data injection attacks(FDIAs)against the load frequency control(LFC)system can lead to unstable operation of power systems.In this paper,the problems of detecting and estimating the FDIAs for the LFC system in the presence of external disturbances are investigated.First,the LFC system model with FDIAs against frequency and tie-line power measurements is established.Then,a design procedure for the unknown input observer(UIO)is presented and the residual signal is generated to detect the FDIAs.The UIO is designed to decouple the effect of the unknown external disturbance on the residual signal.After that,an attack estimation method based on a robust adaptive observer(RAO)is proposed to estimate the state and the FDIAs simultaneously.In order to improve the performance of attack estimation,the H¥technique is employed to minimize the effect of external disturbance on estimation errors,and the uniform boundedness of the state and attack estimation errors is proven using Lyapunov stability theory.Finally,a two-area interconnected power system is simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed attack detection and estimation algorithms.
文摘This paper proposes a delay discretization based H∞load frequency control strategy for interconnected power systems.The effect of time delay is considered in the system for the design of stabilizing controller.To improve the tolerable delay margin of the system,a two-term state feedback controller structure is used.The controller requires delayed state information as control input.In the proposed approach,the amount of delay introduced in the state of the system,i.e.,artificial delay,for taking control action is assumed to be constant.The approach is based on the discretization of this delay interval.In order to define a simple Lyapunov-Krasovskii(LK)function for each of the discretized interval,a stabilization criterion is developed in such a way that a single one satisfies the requirement of all the intervals.The developed criterion is computationally simple and efficient.

文摘Load frequency control(LFC)system may be destroyed by false data injection attacks(FDIAs)and consequently the security of the power system will be impacted.High-efficiency FDIA detection can reduce the damage and power loss to the power system.This paper defines various typical and hybrid FDIAs,and the influence of several FDIAs with different characteristics on the multi-area LFC system is analyzed.To detect various attacks,we introduce an improved data-driven method,which consists of fuzzy logic and neural networks.Fuzzy logic has the features of high applicability,robustness,and agility,which can make full use of samples.Further,we construct the LFC system on MATLAB/Simulink platform,and systematically simulate the experiments that FDIAs affect the LFC system by tampering with measurement data.Among them,considering the large-scale penetration of renewable energy with intermittency and volatility,we generate three simulation scenarios with or without renewable energy generation.Then,the performance for detecting FDIAs of the improved method is verified by simulation data samples.
文摘Combined estimation of state and feed-back gain for optimal load frequency control is proposed.Load frequency control(LFC)addresses the problem of controlling system frequency in response to disturbance,and is one of main research areas in power system operation.A well acknowledged solution to this problem is feedback stabilization,where the Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR)based controller computes the feedback gain K from the known system parameters and implements the control,assuming the availability of all the state variables.However,this approach restricts control to cases where the state variables are readily available and the system parameters are steady.Alternatively,by estimating the states continuously from available measurements of some of the states,it can accommodate dynamic changes in the system parameters.The paper proposes the technique of augmenting the state variables with controller gains.This introduces a non-linearity to the augmented system and thereby the estimation is performed using an Extended Kalman Filter.This results in producing controller gains that are capable of controlling the system in response to changes in load demand,system parameter variation and measurement noise.
文摘This study aims to determine the improvement effect on the delay margin if fractional-order proportional integral(PI) controller is used in the control of a singlearea delayed load frequency control(LFC) system. The delay margin of the system with fractional-order PI control has been obtained for various fractional integral orders and the effect of them has been shown on the delay margin as a third controller parameter. Furthermore,the stability of the system that is either under or over the delay margin is examined by generalized modified Mikhailov criterion.The stability results obtained have been confirmed numerically in time domain. It is demonstrated that the proposed controller for delayed LFC system provides more flexibility on delay margin according to integer-order PI controller.
文摘This paper proposes an improved sine-cosine algorithm(ISCA)based 2-DOF-PID controller for load frequency control.A three-area test system is built for study,while some physical constraints(nonlinearities)are considered for the investigation of a realistic power system.The proposed method is used as the parameter optimizer of the LFC control-ler in different scenarios.The 2-DOF-PID controllers are used because of their capability of fast disturbance rejection without significant increase of overshoot in set-point tracking.The 2-DOF-PID controllers’efficacy is observed by examining the responses with the outcomes obtained with PID and FOPID controllers.The simulation results with the suggested scheme are correlated with some of the existing algorithms,such as SCA,SSA,ALO,and PSO in three dif-ferent scenarios,i.e.,a disturbance in two areas,in three areas,and in the presence of physical constraints.In addition,the study is extended to a four-area power system.Statistical analysis is performed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test(WSRT)on 20 independent runs.This confirms the supremacy of the proposed method.
