Title: Model predictive control for voltage restoration in microgrids using temporal logic specifications

Abstract

Power system operation will encounter numerous voltage variabilities as the proliferation of renewable energy continues. Real-time monitoring and communication technologies can potentially improve voltage stability by enabling the rapid detection of voltage deviations and the implementation of corrective actions. These corrective actions will only be effective in restoring stability if they are chosen in a timely and scalable manner. This paper considers the problem of power systems’ load voltage control in order to simultaneously address both magnitude and time voltage specifications. In order to comply with grid codes and avoid unnecessary relay protection actions, a model predictive control (MPC)-based control strategy employing temporal logic specifications (TLSs) is proposed. The TLSs strategy is introduced as a formalism to control the voltage variation at a critical load bus against operational bounds over time. The control objective is to schedule optimal control input signals from the available supportive energy storage systems, which provide reactive power injections, leading to satisfying the specified finite-time restoration described by the TLSs with minimal control efforts. The simulation results display that the TLSs strategy for power systems’ voltage control synthesis is extremely significant.

Secondary Voltage Control Via Demand-Side Energy Storage with Temporal Logic Specifications

Conference Zhang, Yichen ; Taousser, Fatima Z. ; Olama, Mohammed M. ; ...

This paper proposes a secondary voltage control method that can handle the temporal logic specifications (TLSs). The control objective is to schedule a control signal for energy storage system (ESS) such that the voltage variation of a defined critical bus satisfies TLSs. The TLS allows definitions of set and timing constraints at the same time, such as a finite-time restoration. A simplified analytical model is derived to describe the voltage variation of critical buses. Based on this model, a numerical optimal control problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program to generate the proper control input for the ESS.more »« less

A phase transition model and temporal logic specifications for smart energy systems - revisited

Conference Park, Byungkwon ; Olama, Mohammed M.

In this paper, we revisit the method of a phase transition model for representing hybrid systems and temporal logic specifications (TLSs) for specifying desired behaviors of systems, and discuss their usefulness for smart energy systems. On the one hand, the phase transition model incorporates the continuous model of the relay device action with a particular structural form that allows for the construction of a single, global differential-algebraic equation for hybrid systems (thus smoothed hybrid systems). On the other hand, the TLS allows sophisticated descriptions of control specifications addressing both magnitude and time simultaneously, which has recently been applied to themore »« less

Integrating Transactive Energy into Reliability Evaluation for a Self-healing Distribution System with Microgrid

Journal Article Dong, Jiaojiao ; Zhu, Lin ; Dong, Qihuan ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy

Non-utility owned distributed energy resources (DERs) are mostly untapped currently, but they can provide many grid services such as voltage regulation and service restoration, if properly controlled, and can improve the distribution systems reliability when coordinated with utility-owned assets such as self-healing control and microgrids. This paper integrates transactive energy control into the distribution system reliability evaluation to quantitatively assess the impact of non-utility owned DERs on reliability improvement. Here, a transactive reactive power control strategy is designed to incentivize the DERs to provide reactive power support for improving voltage profiles thus enabling additional customer load restoration during an outage.more »« less
