Abstract:

Utilizing energy storage systems (ESSs) to participate in load frequency control (LFC) can effectively improve the frequency stability of power systems. However, due to such factors as state of charge or sudden physical failures, the random access or exit of ESSs may cause uncertain changes in LFC structure, which is not conducive to the controller design. In this paper, an asynchronous switched adaptive LFC strategy is proposed. Firstly, a series of possible scenarios for ESSs to participate in LFC were pre-set. For each scenario, the control parameter design constraints were determined by constructing Lyapunov functionals. Secondly, to address the uncertainties of LFC structure caused by random access/exit of ESSs, update criteria for control parameters switching between any two scenarios were derived based on the average dwell time technique. Finally, to minimize the average dwell time between any two operating scenarios, an LFC parameter optimization method based on harmony search was designed to effectively improve the tolerance of the power system for stochastic energy storage access/exit behaviors. Simulation results show that compared with existing control schemes that do not consider the factors of access/exit of ESSs, the proposed method can effectively reduce the impact of ESSs' access/exit on the dynamic behaviors of LFC system.
