Abstract

Modern electric power systems (EPSs) experience an increase in the number of distributed generation plants. These plants can be located far from the center of consumption, which "narrows" the areas of static aperiodic stability, determining the possibility of the existence of the operating mode of the electric power system. Since there can be variations in the operating conditions of distributed generation plants and changes in the areas of static aperiodic stability, it is necessary to use adaptive control algorithms. The presented methods are based on the equations of limit conditions. Reliable convergence of iterative processes is ensured by specifying initial approximations based on the proposed starting algorithms. Modeling of transient processes in the studied EPS was performed for various points in the space of controlled operating parameters in the MATLAB system. It showed the effectiveness of the fuzzy control system when used to adjust the settings of automatic regulators of distributed generation plants. The greatest effect is observed for generator voltage: the transition process time for the first distributed generation installation is reduced by four times, and for the second installation – by 2.3 times; there are no generator voltage fluctuations in transient mode.

Abstract

The paper presents a method for the coordinated tuning of automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and automatic speed control (ASC) systems for a group of generators operating in parallel at a power plant. The method also involves solving the optimization problem using a genetic algorithm. The possibilities of using lead-lag elements in AVR and ASC, which impart predictive properties and improve damping characteristics of the controllers, are also considered. A model of a power plant operating in parallel with an electric power system is presented. This model demonstrates effective damping of oscillations under large disturbances when the proposed method is used to adjust the AVR and ASC control coefficients, along with a self-tuning lead-lag element. In this case, voltage oscillations and frequency overshoot disappear, and there is a significant reduction in the maximum deviations of these parameters. In the illustrative case study, the coordinated tuning of the controllers provides a 6% increase in the transmitted power limit and, as a consequence, the enhancement of the stability margin of the electric power system.
