| Abstract: |
| Using an islanded microgrid (MG) with large-scale integration of renewable energy is the most popular way of solving the reliable power supply problem for remote areas and critical electrical users. However, compared with traditional power systems, the limited spinning reserves and network communication bandwidth may cause weak frequency stability in the presence of stochastic renewable active outputs and load demand fuctuations. In this paper, an adaptive event-triggered control (ETC) strategy for a load frequency control (LFC) system in an islanded MG is proposed. First, a bounded adaptive event-triggered communication scheme is designed. This not only saves on network resources, but also ensures that the control center has a sensitive monitoring ability for the MG operating status when
the frequency deviations have been efectively damped. Secondly, by fully considering the spinning reserve constraints and uncertain communication delays, the LFC system is described as a nonlinear model with saturation terms. Design criteria for ETC parameters are strictly deduced based on Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, an ETC parameter optimization algorithm based on random direction search is developed to reconcile the bandwidth occupancy and control performance. The efectiveness of the proposed method is verifed in an MG test system. |
