Abstract

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.

Communication enabled fast-acting imbalance reserve

Patent Wilches Bernal, Felipe ; Neely, Jason C. ; Concepcion, Ricky James ; ...

A system and method for control of dispatchable resources on an electrical power distribution grid is disclosed. The disclosed method provides improved response to power imbalance based on a communications signal independent of system frequency. The communication signal provides a feed-forward control of dispatchable power resources. A communications network is employed to generate a signal to dispatchable resources that a power imbalance has occurred. Due to fast response power transmission network interfaces associated with the dispatchable resources, the respective resources respond in significantly less time than feedback controlled conventional generators which depend on line frequency sensing. The rapid response mitigatesmore »« less

Machine Learning-Based PV Reserve Determination Strategy for Frequency Control on the WECC System

Conference Yuan, Haoyu ; Tan, Jin ; Zhang, Yingchen ; ...

Frequency control from photovoltaic (PV) power plants has great potential to address the frequency response challenge of the power system with high penetrations of renewable generation. Using model-based approaches to determine the optimal PV headroom reserve, however, requires significant online computation and is intractable for an interconnection level system. This paper proposes a machine learning based strategy, that is suitable for real-time operation, to determine the optimal PV reserve for frequency control. The proposed machine learning algorithm is trained and tested on 1,987 offline simulations of a 60% renewable penetration Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system. Furthermore, the proposed reservemore »« less

This paper proposes a machine learning based strategy, that is suitable for real-time operation, to determine the optimal photovoltaic (PV) power plants reserve for frequency control. The proposed machine learning algorithm is trained and tested on 1,987 offline simulations of a 60% renewable penetration Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system. On a realistic 1-day operation profile of the WECC system, the ML model demonstrates a savings of more than 40% PV headroom compared to a conservative approach.
