MPC-based LFC for interconnected power systems with PVA and ESS under model uncertainty and communication delay

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a cloud-edge-end collaboration-based control architecture is established for frequency regulation in interconnected power systems (IPS). A model predictive control (MPC)-based load frequency control strategy for the IPS with photovoltaic aggregation and energy storage systems under model uncertainty and communication delay is proposed. This can effectively overcome the issues of model uncertainty, random load perturbation and communication delay. First, a state space model for the IPS is constructed. To coordinate the frequency and contact line power fluctuation of the IPS, a robust controller based on the theory of MPC is then designed. Then, considering the communication delay of frequency response commands during transmission, a predictive compensation mechanism is introduced to eliminate the effect of delay while considering model uncertainty. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy.
