“…A networked predictive control based on a generalized predictive control was proposed in [249]. A scheme based on a block relative gain and a block generalized dynamic relative gain to design decentralized controllers through a systematic analytical procedure was proposed in [232]. A similar approach to [224] (where an SQP-based optimal approach was followed for a load shedding selection based on post contingency state of the system) was presented in [225].…”

Review of Wide-Area Controllers for Supporting Power System Stability

Countries around the world are transitioning from conventional power systems dominated by synchronous generators towards low-carbon resources, characterized by high levels of converter-interfaced generators (CIGs). With this transformation, hundreds or even thousands of fast power electronic devices will be added to the grid as CIG penetration increases, thus making the system dynamic response progressively faster and more complex. This future scenario poses significant challenges in power system stability and control. To sustain power system stability in future power systems and achieve a seamless transition, we need to depart from current control practices based on decentralized and stand-alone local control actions and begin to explore new methods. A promising technology to overcome control complexities and underlying stability issues in future low-inertia power systems are wide area control (WAC). Within this technology, the control is no longer based on a purely localized tasks but rather a set of coordinated actions across wide areas in which interplant communication plays a key role. This paper presents the state of the art of existing research efforts in the field of WAC strategies for maintaining stability in large-scale low-inertia power systems of the future. We present different WAC solutions that have been put forward hitherto, we put these control strategies into context, classify them, and finally relate them to each other. We also raise open questions and challenges that need to be addressed in order to ensure a secure transition towards power systems dominated by CIGs.
