Adaptive and Robust Cross-Voltage-Level Power Flow Control of Active Distribution Networks (2207.05462v1)

Abstract: The large-scale integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into the electric power system offers new opportunities to ensure stability. For example, Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) can be used in (sub-)transmission systems in the emergency state, as far as high robustness and performance of the ADN control are guaranteed. This paper presents an adaptive control system for ADN's cross-voltage-level power flow control. For this purpose, the gain scheduling approach is used. Furthermore, this work introduces a method for control parameter tuning. In order to validate the control parameter tuning, the adaptive control system is analyzed regarding robustness and performance using an exemplary medium voltage grid. In addition, the influence of uncertainties is examined. Finally, the operation of the adaptive control system is demonstrated by performing time-domain simulations.
