Abstract

The paper considers the investigation of a novel robust control algorithm of an electric generator with unknown parameters under bounded disturbances and high-frequency measurement noises. It is assumed that only the load angle is available for measurement, but not the rotor speed. The electric generator model is described by a system of third-order nonlinear differential equations with algebraic coupling ones. The proposed algorithm consisting of static and dynamical terms is based on the separation of the filtering and estimating properties. Differently from existing results the proposed scheme provides the opportunity to control independently the quality of filtering and stabilization. Investigations show that the proposed algorithm attenuates parametric uncertainties and disturbances with accuracy that can be reduced by tuning algorithm parameters.

Highlights

  • Since the demand for electricity is increasing continuously, the present trends of power system engineers are to operate the power systems closer to their stability limits without sacrificing the reliability

  • It is a well-known fact that an electric generator can not be stabilized with zero voltage applied to the excitation coil uf (t) and non-zero mechanical input power Pm

  • It is assumed that only the load angle is available for measurement

Summary

Introduction

Since the demand for electricity is increasing continuously, the present trends of power system engineers are to operate the power systems closer to their stability limits without sacrificing the reliability. A robust adaptive backstepping scheme is proposed in [Roy, Mahmud, Shen, and Oo, 2015] to design an excitation controller for the electric generator, which considers both parametric uncertainties and external disturbances along with measurement noises. A robust partial feedback linearizing controller is proposed in [Mahmud, Pota and Hossain, 2012] where both state dependent and parametric uncertainties are modeled as a structured uncertainty that is explicitly used in LQR design. It uses the speed deviation signal as the output function. The stability region of the generator could be obtained during control parameter tuning
