Recently, demand-side resources (DSRs) have proceeded to participate in frequency control of the power systems. Compared with traditional generation-side resources, DSRs have unique intermittent characteristics. Taking aggregation of air conditions as an example, they must take a break after providing power support for a period of time considering the user comfort. This behavior, known as the intermittent characteristic, obviously affects the stability of the power systems. Therefore, this paper designs a corresponding controller for DSRs based on the intermittent control method. The designed controller is incorporated into the traditional load frequency control (LFC) system. The time delay is also considered. A rigorous stability proof and the robust H ∞ performance analysis is presented for the new LFC system. Then, the sufficient robust frequency stabilization result is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a two-area power system is provided to illustrate the obtained results. The results show that the designed intermittent controller can mitigate the impact of intermittent characteristics of DSRs.

The Stability

This paper aims at developing a novel stability criterion to access the influence of the time-varying delay on the stability of power systems equipped with a proportional-integral (PI)-based load frequency control (LFC). The model of the LFC scheme considering time-varying communication delays is established at first. Then, an improved stability condition related to the information of delay bounds is deduced by constructing an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovski functional and using a matrix inequality, and it is expressed as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for easily checking. Finally, case studies for one-area and two-area LFC systems are carried out to show the relationship between delay margins ensuring the stability and the PI gains of the LFC, and also verify the superiority of proposed stability criterion compared with the previous ones.

Abstract Modern day scenario has an increasing power demand due to the growing development which indeed increases the load on the generation which might cause turbulence in the system and may bounce out of stability. The governor itself can’t handle such frequent load changes and adjust the generation amount to keep the frequency between the margins. This paper proposes an approach towards such predicament to incorporate an optimization method in order to ensure stability of the system despite the drastic changes in demand. Load frequency control is a control method for maintaining the frequency of the system during the change in demand. Use of controllers has proven to be effective in controlling the frequency deviations in the power systems and the response of the controller is further improved using optimization technique for better stability. The PID controller tuned by Particle Swarm Optimization is employed in multi-area system which reduces the time response by a considerable amount and the deviation settles much quicker despite the rapid load changes. The proposed controller is executed further for renewable energy sources connected to the individual areas and demonstration proves that the optimized controller is efficient enough in handling the frequency deviations when wind and solar with sunlight penetration is incorporated.

The problem of secure load frequency control of smart grids is investigated in this paper. The networked data transmission within the smart grid is corrupted by stochastic deception attacks. First, a unified Load frequency control model is constructed to account for both network-induced effects and deception attacks. Second, with the Lyapunov functional method, a piecewise delay analysis is conducted to study the stability of the established model, which is of less conservativeness. Third, based on the stability analysis, a controller design method is provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a case study is carried out to demonstrate the derived results.

Delay Margin

Open communication is an exigent need for future power systems, where time delay is unavoidable. In order to secure the stability of the grid, the frequency must remain within its limited range which is achieved through the load frequency control. Load frequency control signals are transmitted through communication networks which induce time delays that could destabilize power systems. So, in order to guarantee stability, the delay margin should be computed. In this paper, we present a new method for calculating the delay margin in load frequency control systems. The transcendental time delay characteristics equation is transformed into a frequency dependent equation. The spectral radius was used to find the frequencies at which the root crosses the imaginary axis. The crossing frequencies were determined through the sweeping test and the binary iteration algorithm. A one-area load frequency control system was chosen as a case study. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proven through comparison with the most recent published methods. The method shows its merit with less conservativeness and less computations. The impact of the proportional integral (PI) controller gains on the delay margin was investigated. It was found that increasing the PI controller gains reduces the delay margin.

The Impact

Modern multi-area power systems are in persistent facing to imbalances in power generation and consumption which directly causes frequency and tie-line power fluctuations in each area. This paper deals with the load frequency control (LFC) problem where the control objective of regulating their error signals despite the presences of several external load disturbances. It proposes an optimal design of proportional integral derivative controller (PID) based on a novel version of Jaya algorithm called self-adaptive multi-population elitist (SAMPE) Jaya optimizer. A filter with derivative term is integrated with PID controller to alleviate the impact of noise in the input signal. A time domain based-objective functions are investigated such as integral time-multiplied absolute value of the error (ITAE) and integral of absolute error (IAE). Both SAMPE-Jaya and Jaya optimizers are employed to optimally tune the PID parameters for interconnected power systems comprising two non-reheat thermal areas. Three test cases are performed with various load disturbances in both areas individually and simultaneaously. Also, the practical physical constraints related to generation rate constraint (GRC) with its nonlinearity characteristics are taken into account. In addition, the obtained results using the designed PID controller based on SAMPE-Jaya are compared with various reported techniques. These simulated comparisons declare the great efficiency and the high superiority of the designed PID controller based on SAMPE-Jaya.

The stability problem for load frequency control (LFC) of power systems with two time-varying communication delays is studied in this paper. The one-area and two-area LFC systems are considered, respectively, which are modeled as corresponding linear systems with additive time-varying delays. An improved stability criterion is proposed via a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) approach. Firstly, an augmented LKF consisting of delay-dependent matrices and some single-integral items containing time-varying delay information in two different delay subintervals is constructed, which makes full use of the coupling information between the system states and time-varying delays. Secondly, the novel negative definite inequality equivalent transformation lemma is used to transform the nonlinear inequality to the linear matrix inequality (LMI) equivalently, which can be easily solved by the MATLAB LMI-Toolbox. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the improvement of the proposed approach.

The Stability

This paper present’s the study of Load Frequency Control (LFC) with certain nonlinear parameters at different communication delay latencies. The main aim is to maintain the stability of power system in all the adverse conditions including time delays in the network. Here, the stability of the system is demonstrated using Lyapuonav stability theorem in the presence of Delay’s and Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI). Time delays are taken in the network. These delay latencies are linearized using the rational approximation method. Here Padé approximation is used with different time delay values. The problem is formulated using a decentralized LFC approach for a power system containing a single area. Simulation results carried out with different delay latency values integrated with the Load frequency control LMI and rigorous analysis is performed to test the robustness of the proposed strategy
