Abstract
This paper proposes a hierarchical event-triggered model predictive control (HEMPC)-based voltage control strategy to coordinate the reactive power (Var) outputs among all WTs for improving the high-voltage ride-through (HVRT) and post-fault voltage restoration capability of the large-scale wind farms (WFs), while reducing the heavy computational task of the WF controller. The event-triggering condition and optimal controller are designed to activate the proposed HEMPC strategy based on the system state deviation and input-to-state stability (ISS) mechanism, which can substantially decrease data communication in a non-periodic sampling fashion. A hierarchical solution method based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is developed, aiming to further improve the computing efficiency of the voltage optimization problem of the large-scale WF. Two time-domain WF simulation cases in Matlab/Simulink corroborate that the proposed HEMPC strategy is more efficient in minimizing the WT terminal voltage deviations and reducing the computational burdens of the WF controller compared with traditional control strategies.
