Decentralized control methodology for multi-machine/multi-converter power systems (2401.17313v1)
Abstract: In this project we evaluate a framework for synchronization of mixed machine-converter power grids. Synchronous machines are assumed to be actuated by mechanical torque injections, while the converters by DC-side current injections. As this approach is based on model-matching, the converter's modulation angle is driven by the DC-side voltage measurement, while its modulation amplitude is assigned analogously to the electrical machine's excitation current. In this way we provide extensions to the swing-equations model, retaining physical interpretation, and design controllers that achieve various objectives: frequency synchronization while stabilizing an angle configuration and a bus voltage magnitude prescribed by an optimal power flow (OPF) set-point. We further discuss decentralization issues related to clock drifts, loopy graphs, model reduction, energy function selection and characterizations of operating points. Finally, a numerical evaluation is based on experiments from three- and two-bus systems.
