Nonlinear decentralized control of large-scale power systems (Q5926263)

A recently developed nonlinear decentralized control scheme is applied to large-scale power systems. Lower-triangular structured models are used, interconnections among subsystems are nonlinear and persistent disturbances (arising from permanent faults, load change, etc.) enter the system without matching conditions. Excitation control and steam valve control are designed explicitly and the resulting closed-loop systems are transiently stable and attenuate the effect of persistent disturbances. The proposed controllers are simulated on a two-generator infinite bus power system where the saturation effects of magnetizing inductances are also considered.
