Event-triggered data-driven load frequency control for multi-area power system with wind penetration under deregulation environment

In order to solve the problem of power exchange between areas of multi-area power systems under the power market, this paper designs a power trading contract based on the generation participation matrix, so as to simulate the specific process of power change in each area. With the integration of wind power into the large-scale power system, it is difficult to model the multi-area power system. For this situation, this paper designs a data-driven model-free adaptive load frequency control algorithm based on collecting input and output data, which gets rid of the dependence of the power system on the model. Along with the frequent transmission of input and output data in each area, the communication load of the power system also increases. Aiming at saving communication resources, this paper designs an event-triggered mechanism to reduce the communication bandwidth. The stability of the control algorithm is demonstrated theoretically. Finally, a three-area power system with wind penetration is used as an example to simulate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in this paper.
