A Decentralised Control Strategy for Secondary Voltage Regulation
This paper proposes a decentralised secondary voltage control strategy that has several benefits over the existing centralised strategies. For that, a new structure for the control is proposed in terms of an inner and outer loops for each generator. The individual generators of a particular zone participate in the secondary voltage control by aligning their reactive powers with respect to the pilot point voltage reference. The decentralised nature of the proposed control strategy enables plug and play operation: run with different numbers of generators without any need of regulators reconfiguration, resilience in case of generator failure. This allows one to use such control to integrate renewable generators to existing secondary regulations alongside with the classic generators. The proposed control strategy is implemented using a model-free control scheme that does not require a higher order complex model of the power grid. The deployment of a discrete-time intelligent proportional controller simplifies the tuning of the controller gains. The proposed strategy is validated on a four generator power system model in MATLAB/ Simulink/Simelectrical environment. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy along with different case studies such as load perturbation, transmission line perturbation, generator disconnection and delay in pilot point voltage measurement to highlight its robustness.
