Due to the limited generation and finite inertia, microgrid suffers from the large frequency and voltage deviation which can lead to system collapse. Thus, reliable load shedding to keep frequency stable is required. Wireless network, benefiting from the high flexibility and low deployment cost, is considered as a promising technology for fine-grained management. In this paper, for balancing the supply-demand and reducing the load-shedding amount, a distributed load shedding solution via wireless network is proposed. Firstly, active power coordination of different priority loads is formulated as an optimisation problem. To solve it, a distributed load shedding algorithm based on subgradient method (DLSS) is developed for gradually shedding loads. Using this method, power compensation can be utilised and has more time to lower the power deficit so as to reduce the load-shedding amount. Secondly, to increase the response rate and enhance the reliability of our method, a multicast metropolis schedule based on TDMA (MMST) is developed. In this protocol, time slots are dedicatedly allocated and a checking and retransmission mechanism is utilised. Finally, the proposed solution is evaluated by NS3-Matlab co-simulator. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our solution.

In this paper, a short-term load forecasting approach based network reconfiguration is proposed in a parallel manner. Specifically, a support vector regression (SVR) based short-term load forecasting approach is designed to provide an accurate load prediction and benefit the network reconfiguration. Because of the nonconvexity of the three-phase balanced optimal power flow, a second-order cone program (SOCP) based approach is used to relax the optimal power flow problem. Then, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is used to compute the optimal power flow in distributed manner. Considering the limited number of the switches and the increasing computation capability, the proposed network reconfiguration is solved in a parallel way. The numerical results demonstrate the feasible and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
This paper addresses the distributed frequency control problem in a multi-area power system taking into account of unknown time-varying power imbalance. Particularly, fast controllable loads are utilized to restore system frequency under changing power imbalance in an optimal manner. The imbalanced power causing frequency deviation is decomposed into three parts: a known constant part, an unknown low-frequency variation and a high-frequency residual. The known steady part is usually the prediction of power imbalance. The variation may result from the fluctuation of renewable resources, electric vehicle charging, etc., which is usually unknown to operators. The high-frequency residual is usually unknown and treated as an external disturbance. Correspondingly, in this paper, we resolve the following three problems in different timescales: 1) allocate the steady part of power imbalance economically; 2) mitigate the effect of unknown low-frequency power variation locally; 3) attenuate unknown high-frequency disturbances. To this end, a distributed controller combining consensus method with adaptive internal model control is proposed. We first prove that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and converges to the optimal solution of an optimization problem if the external disturbance is not included. We then prove that the power variation can be mitigated accurately. Furthermore, we show that the closed-loop system is robust against both parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. The New England system is used to verify the efficacy of our design.
Motivated by the fact that the location(s) and structural properties of the pinning node(s) affect the algebraic connectivity of a network with respect to the reference value and thereby, its dynamic performance, this paper studies the application of intelligent single and multiple pinning of distributed cooperative secondary control of distributed generators (DGs) in islanded microgrid operation. It is shown that the intelligent selection of a pinning set based on the degree of connectivity and distance of leader DG(s) from the rest of the network improves the transient performance for microgrid voltage and frequency regulation. The efficacy of the distributed control strategy based on the proposed algorithms is illustrated via numerical results simulating typical scenarios for a variety of microgrid configurations.
Emergency control, typically such as under-voltage load shedding (UVLS), is broadly used to grapple with low voltage and voltage instability issues in practical power systems under contingencies. However, existing emergency control schemes are rule-based and cannot be adaptively applied to uncertain and floating operating conditions. This paper proposes an adaptive UVLS algorithm for emergency control via deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and expert systems. We first construct dynamic components for picturing the power system operation as the environment. The transient voltage recovery criteria, which poses time-varying requirements to UVLS, is integrated into the states and reward function to advise the learning of deep neural networks. The proposed approach has no tuning issue of coefficients in reward functions, and this issue was regarded as a deficiency in the existing DRL-based algorithms. Extensive case studies illustrate that the proposed method outperforms the traditional UVLS relay in both the timeliness and efficacy for emergency control.
Forming (hybrid) AC/DC microgrids (MGs) has become a promising manner for the interconnection of various kinds of distributed generators that are inherently AC or DC electric sources. This paper addresses the distributed asynchronous power control problem of hybrid microgrids, considering imperfect communication due to non-identical sampling rates and communication delays. To this end, we first formulate the optimal power control problem of MGs and devise a synchronous algorithm. Then, we analyze the impact of asynchrony on optimal power control and propose an asynchronous iteration algorithm based on the synchronous version. By introducing a random clock at each iteration, different types of asynchrony are fitted into a unified framework, where the asynchronous algorithm is converted into a fixed-point problem based on the operator splitting method, leading to a convergence proof. We further provide an upper bound estimation of the time delay in the communication. Moreover, the real-time implementation of the proposed algorithm in both AC and DC MGs is introduced. By taking the power system as a solver, the controller is simplified by reducing one order and the power loss can be considered. Finally, a benchmark MG is utilized to verify the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed algorithm.
