Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of flexible loads in providing frequency response services. However, uncertainty and variability in various weather-related and end-use behavioral factors often affect the demand-side control performance. This work addresses this problem with the design of a demand-side control to achieve frequency response under load uncertainties. Our approach involves modeling the load uncertainties via stochastic processes that appear as both multiplicative and additive to the system states in closed-loop power system dynamics. Extending the recently developed mean square exponential stability (MSES) results for stochastic systems, we formulate multi-objective linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based optimal control synthesis problems to not only guarantee stochastic stability, but also promote sparsity, enhance closed-loop transient performance, and maximize allowable uncertainties. The fundamental trade-off between the maximum allowable ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">critical</i> ) uncertainty levels and the optimal stochastic stabilizing control efforts is established. Moreover, the sparse control synthesis problem is generalized to the realistic power systems scenario in which only partial-state measurements are available. Detailed numerical studies are carried out on IEEE 39-bus system to demonstrate the closed-loop stochastic stabilizing performance of the sparse controllers in enhancing frequency response under load uncertainties; as well as illustrate the fundamental trade-off between the allowable uncertainties and optimal control efforts.
