Title: A Gain Scheduling Wide-Area Damping Controller for the Efficient Integration of Photovoltaic Plant

Abstract

With photovoltaic generation increasing, the wide-area oscillation has a vital influence on the long-distance power transmission of photovoltaic power. For an efficient integration of photovoltaic generation, a gain scheduling wide-area damping controller (WADC) is designed to guarantee system damping performance under a wide-area signal delay and a changing operating condition, which could be aggravated by the fluctuant and uncertain photovoltaic generation. A linear parameter-varying (LPV) model is proposed to represent all possible operating conditions within varying ranges of the photovoltaic generation and the load. Then, a tensor product (TP) model transformation is applied to transform the LPV model into a TP model. Based on the TP model, a parallel distributed compensation controller (PDC) framework is adopted to design the gain scheduling WADC, which is solved by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) considering the accommodation to the random interval delay. In addition, a staircase basis function method is proposed to reduce the conservatism of LMIs within the PDC framework. The gain of the proposed WADC will be adjusted according to the operating condition acknowledged through the real-time scheduling and control center, once a wide-area oscillation is detected. Lastly, the performance of the proposed WADC is verified by a 2-area 4-machine system andmore » a 68-bus 16-machine system.« less
