Abstract
The paper presents the theoretical foundation and practical implementation aspects of Fractional Order Controllers (FOCs) for power system applications. With this aim, the paper provides a comprehensive mathematical background on the stability analysis of dynamic systems with inclusion of fractional order derivatives and discusses their software implementation based on the Oustaloup's Recursive Approximation (ORA) method. Then the paper illustrates a variety of examples of ORA-based FOCs, namely, automatic generation control of synchronous machines; frequency control of a converter-interfaced energy storage system; and voltage control through a static synchronous compensator. The WSCC 9-bus test system and a realistic 1,479-bus model of the Irish transmission system are employed to test and compare the examined FOCs with their integer-order versions.
