Abstract
This paper proposes a novel synergistic balancing control scheme for low-inertia power systems with high photovoltaic (PV) penetration in Tibet power grid (TPG). The mechanism and dispatching principle of choosing the suitable area control error (ACE) control mode for TPG are analyzed., An adaptive control mode switching method is proposed to meet the different control demands for the dynamically changing topologies. Then, we propose a new coordinated control scheme to dispatch hydropower generators and PV power stations. A set of optimum control objectives considering balancing control performance, regulation mileage of conventional generators, and power curtailment of PV are first presented. The control objectives are decomposed and simplified by step-by-step approximation and linearization, which are easily extended to be applied to real-world automatic generation control (AGC) systems. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed solutions for synergistic balancing control by using the equivalent TPG test system. The equivalent system includes 63 generators with total power equal to 1618.5 MW and 51 PV power stations over 1100 MW. In addition, the actual operation cases present that the coordinated control between conventional and renewable generation dispatched by AGC has the basic conditions in the actual operation of the power grids, which will play a more significant role with the rapid increase of renewable generation sources in the future.
