This letter presents a new frequency control strategy that takes advantage of communications and fast responding resources like PV generation, energy storage, wind generation, and demand response, termed collectively as converter interfaced generators (CIGs). The proposed approach uses an active monitoring of power imbalances to rapidly redispatch CIGs. This approach differs from previously proposed frequency control schemes in that it employs feed-forward control based on a measured power imbalance rather that relying on a frequency measurement. As a result, time-domain simulations of the full Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, showing improved performance.
