Abstract

This paper investigates the distributed load frequency control (LFC) for multi-area power systems with communication switching topologies and data transmission time-delays. For stabilizing the power flow frequency while encompassing situations of seldom subsystem disconnections, a decentralized Markov switching control scheme is proposed. To further reduce conservative of the controller, a time-delay equipartition technique is developed. In addition, the distributed cooperative control (DCC) scheme is also discussed and proved to be unsuitable as a LFC strategy. Finally, illustrative examples are provided to validate effectiveness of the proposed methods.
