Abstract

This paper presents an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique for load frequency control of a wind integrated power system when communication delays are considered. To improve the stability of frequency control, equivalent input disturbances (EID) compensation is used to eliminate the influence of the load variation. In wind integrated power systems, two area controllers are designed to guarantee the stability of the overall closed-loop system. First, a simplified frequency response model of the wind integrated time-delay power system was established. Then the state-space model of the closed-loop system was built by employing state observers. The system stability conditions and controller parameters can be solved by some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) forms. Finally, the case studies were tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the simulation results show its robustness and effectiveness to maintain power-system stability.

Highlights

  • Load frequency control (LFC) plays a key role when it comes to measuring the power supply quality of a power system

  • With more and more wind power integrated in power systems, the LFC issue of power systems has become more difficult than before

  • Designing an advanced LFC strategy for the wind power generations is of significant value to ensure the stable operation of power systems under the stochastic disturbances of wind power and the random load variation

Summary

Introduction

Load frequency control (LFC) plays a key role when it comes to measuring the power supply quality of a power system. For multi-area power systems in the presence of wind turbines, a LFC design using the model predictive control (MPC) technique is proposed [7]. In [8], a linear active disturbance rejection control method was applied to power systems with high penetration of wind power. The influence of wind power integration on load frequency of a power system was studied, and the influence of communication delay on the whole system was considered. An active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) based on equivalent input disturbances (EID) compensation for load frequency control was proposed for a wide integrated power system when communication delays were considered, applied to a two-area power system to dampen its low frequency oscillation.
