Dynamic participation of doubly fed induction generators in multi-control area load frequency control

Abstract

Summary This paper proposes a new control strategy to consider the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind generation contribution in frequency control and regulation of multi‐area interconnected power system when the wind power is the main generation of one area. Based on frequency requirements and system conditions, the proposed control approach determines whether to switch the wind generation into the maximum power tracking mode or the frequency regulation mode. In the frequency regulation mode, the output power of the wind power plant is controlled through a PID controller. At this mode of operation, the input signal of the PID controller is the system frequency. Finally, the PID performance is optimized by tuning its parameters through fuzzy and Zigler–Nicholes methods. The proposed control strategy is applied to a multi‐area control system including thermal and wind power generations. The simulation results indicate that the proposed control scheme works desirably and thereby wind generation can effectively participate in load frequency control (LFC).

Integration of the wind power plants through a novel, multi-objective control scheme under the normal and emergency conditions

“…However, positive real parts of the poles cause instability, and therefore, their effects should be somehow suppressed. For this reason, a penalty term is added to the objective function, which multiplies the sum of the absolute value of the real part of the poles on the right-hand side of the Nyquist plot by a large factor (e.g., 10 20 in this paper). As a result, in case of having poles with positive real part, the value of the objective function increases a lot so, which makes it not to be considered as the optimal place.…”

Hybrid renewable energy‐integrated Indian power system under availability‐based tariff

“…Moreover, in Indian context, after thermal power and hydropower, wind energy dominates renewable energy market followed by solar, small hydro projects, biomass power, and power from urban and industrial waste. Multi‐area power system having thermal‐hydro‐wind‐diesel/biomass power generation can be a good choice for frequency stability study . The changes in frequency and tie‐line power because of fluctuations in load in interconnected power system are well managed through automatic generation control (AGC).…”
