Abstract

This paper considers the problem of distributed frequency regulation based on the consensus control protocol in smart grids. In this problem, each system component is coordinated to collectively provide active power for the provision of ancillary frequency regulation service. Firstly, an approximate model is proposed for the frequency dynamic process. A distributed control algorithm is investigated, while each agent exchanges information with neighboring agents and performs behaviors based on communication interactions. The objective of each agent is to converge to a common state considering different dynamic load characteristics, and distributed frequency control strategy is developed to enable the agents to provide active power support. Then, the distributed proportional integral controllers with the state feedback are designed considering the consensus protocol with topology . The theory of distributed consensus protocol isfurther developed to prove the stability of the proposed control algorithm. Whenproperly controlled, the controllers can provide grid support services in a distributed manner that turn out the grid balanced globally. Finally, simulations of the proposed distributed control algorithm are tested to validate the availability of the proposed approach and the performance in the electrical networks.

Summary

Introduction

Inspired by the Smart Grid, electrical power systems are undergoing a global transformation in structure and functionality to increase efficiency and reliability Such transformations are expanded by the introduction of new technologies such as advanced communication and control, integration of new flexible loads and new electricity generation sources. Zhao et al [21] have designed continuous distributed load control for primary frequency regulation and the Lyapunov function method is used to prove the convergence of the analytic model It shows that distributed control methods might provide efficient control with self-healing characters. Frequency Control Algorithm), based on the developed consensus protocol, we propose a distributed control algorithm for frequency control of electrical power systems, and compare the performance with traditional control algorithms. The conclusion of the distributed frequency control regulation is given in Section 6 (Conclusions)
