Model‐free adaptive load frequency control for power systems with wind penetration under deregulation environment

Abstract

With the gradual deregulation of the power system by the power department, the power system has developed into a large‐scale and multiregional control system. Because of the power system internal complexity enhancing, the stable operation of power system becomes increasingly difficult. This paper analyzes the load frequency control problem of multiregional interconnected power system with wind energy. This study designs an improved model‐free adaptive control algorithm based on I/O data. It avoids model establishment of the multiregional power system. It also effectively solves the problem of frequency stability control under the influence of load change, introducing the generation participation matrix to simulate bilateral contracts under the power market. The dynamic evolution relationship of the system with the generation participation matrix is established, taking a three‐regional power system with wind energy as an example. Frequency fluctuations in all three regions are between . Convergence times of frequency deviation are all within 30 s, much less than the response time of load frequency control. The simulation results further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, comparing the control algorithm proposed in this paper with other algorithms, which proves that the proposed algorithm has good control performance.
