The article addresses a generalized proportional-integral observer (GPIO)based event-triggered control (ETC) for load frequency problems in power systems with wind energy integration. The concept of static event-triggered mechanism (ETM) with a fixed threshold parameter may be unreasonable in some engineering applications where the transmission rates are time varying as in the case with power systems. Therefore, in this work, a dynamic ETM is designed to dynamically adjust the threshold parameters over time to reflect the time-varying transmission rates. The unmatched uncertainties are suppressed via high-gain design while the external disturbance (wind speed) is estimated and attenuated by the GPIO-based ETC. The proposed design ensures frequency and tie-line power stabilization and saves the computational and communication resources more effectively than recently reported works in the field. The hybrid closed-loop system's global bounded stability is theoretically proved and verified by simulation in three-area interconnected power systems.
