The work aims to improve the existing fast load shedding algorithm for industrial power system to increase performance, reliability, and scalability for future expansions. The paper illustrates the development of a scalable algorithm to compute the shedding matrix, and the test performed on a model of the electric grid of an offshore platform. From this model it is possible to study the impact on the transients of various parameters, such as spinning reserve and delay time. Subsequently, the code is converted into Structured Text and implemented on an ABB PLC. The scalability of the load shedding algorithm is thus verified, confirming its performance with respect to the computation of the shedding matrix and the usefulness of the dynamic simulations during the design phase of the plant.

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.
Load shedding has been one of the most widely used and effective emergency control approaches against voltage instability. With increased uncertainties and rapidly changing operational conditions in power systems, existing methods have outstanding issues in terms of either speed, adaptiveness, or scalability. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) was regarded and adopted as a promising approach for fast and adaptive grid stability control in recent years. However, existing DRL algorithms show two outstanding issues when being applied to power system control problems: 1) computational inefficiency that requires extensive training and tuning time; and 2) poor scalability making it difficult to scale to high dimensional control problems. To overcome these issues, an accelerated DRL algorithm named PARS was developed and tailored for power system voltage stability control via load shedding. PARS features high scalability and is easy to tune with only five main hyperparameters. The method was tested on both the IEEE 39-bus and IEEE 300-bus systems, and the latter is by far the largest scale for such a study. Test results show that, compared to other methods including model-predictive control (MPC) and proximal policy optimization(PPO) methods, PARS shows better computational efficiency (faster convergence), more robustness in learning, excellent scalability and generalization capability.
In order to deal with issues caused by the increasing penetration of renewable resources in power systems, this paper proposes a novel distributed frequency control algorithm for each generating unit and controllable load in a transmission network to replace the conventional automatic generation control (AGC). The targets of the proposed control algorithm are twofold. First, it is to restore the nominal frequency and scheduled net inter-area power exchanges after an active power mismatch between generation and demand. Second, it is to optimally coordinate the active powers of all controllable units in a distributed manner. The designed controller only relies on local information, computation, and peer-to-peer communication between cyber-connected buses, and it is also robust against uncertain system parameters. Asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system under the designed algorithm is analysed by using a nonlinear structure-preserving model including the first-order turbine-governor dynamics. Finally, case studies validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
This paper presents a computationally efficient solution for constraint management of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) systems. The solution, referred to as the Decoupled Reference Governor (DRG), maintains the highly-attractive computational features of Scalar Reference Governors (SRG) while having performance comparable to Vector Reference Governors (VRG). DRG is based on decoupling the input-output dynamics of the system, followed by the deployment of a bank of SRGs for each decoupled channel. We present two formulations of DRG: DRG-tf, which is based on system decoupling using transfer functions, and DRG-ss, which is built on state feedback decoupling. A detailed set-theoretic analysis of DRG, which highlights its main characteristics, is presented. We also show a quantitative comparison between DRG and the VRG to illustrate the computational advantages of DRG. The robustness of this approach to disturbances and uncertainties is also investigated.
Novel low-power wireless technologies and IoT applications open the door to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). In this new paradigm, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) must fulfil, despite energy and transmission power limitations, the challenging communication requirements of advanced manufacturing processes and technologies. In industrial networks, this is possible thanks to the availability of network infrastructure and the presence of a network coordinator that efficiently allocates the available radio resources. In this work, we consider a WSN that simultaneously transmits measurements of Networked Control Systems (NCSs) dynamics to remote state estimators over a shared packet-erasure channel. We develop a minimum transmission power control (TPC) policy for the coordination of the wireless medium by formulating an infinite horizon Markov decision process (MDP) optimization problem. We compute the policy using an approximate value iteration algorithm and provide an extensive evaluation of its parameters in different interference scenarios and NCSs dynamics. The evaluation results present a comprehensive characterization of the algorithms performance, proving that it can flexibly adapt to arbitrary use cases.
