Abstract
Reliable Load frequency control (LFC) is crucial to the operation and design of modern electric power systems. However, the power systems are always subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. Considering the LFC problem of a multi-area interconnected power system, this paper presents a robust distributed model predictive control (RDMPC) based on linear matrix inequalities. The proposed algorithm solves a series of local convex optimization problems to minimize an attractive range for a robust performance objective by using a time-varying state-feedback controller for each control area. The scheme incorporates the two critical nonlinear constraints, e.g., the generation rate constraint (GRC) and the valve limit, into convex optimization problems. Furthermore, the algorithm explores the use of an expanded group of adjustable parameters in LMI to transform an upper bound into an attractive range for reducing conservativeness. Good performance and robustness are obtained in the presence of power system dynamic uncertainties.
