Abstract

Uncertain transmission delays, sampling periods, parameters uncertainties regarding the power system, load fluctuations, and the intermittent generation of renewable energy sources (RESs) will significantly influence a power system's frequency. This article designs a robust delay-dependent PI-based load frequency control (LFC) scheme for a power system based on sampled-data control. First, a sampled-data-based delay-dependent LFC model of power system is constructed. Then, by applying the Lyapunov theory, and the linear matrix inequality technique, a novel stability criterion is developed for the LFC of the power system by considering the sampling period, and transmission delay of the communication network, which ensures that the proposed scheme operates in large sampling periods, and under transmission delays. Next, an exponential decay rate (EDR) is introduced to guide the design of a robust PI-based LFC scheme. The LFC scheme with robustness is designed by setting a small EDR. The values of EDR are adjusted by the given robust performance evaluation conditions of parameter uncertainties, and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H_\infty$</tex-math></inline-formula> performance. Finally, case studies are carried out based on a one-area power system, and a three-area power system with RESs. Simulation results show that the proposed LFC scheme performs strong robustness against parameter uncertainties regarding the power system, and communication network, load fluctuations, and the intermittent generation of RESs.
