Title: Advanced control and stabilization of sustainable power systems

Abstract:

Modern power grids are shifting towards more renewables, more power electronics and more digital. There are many challenges to be addressed, including the critical demand-supply power balance under the intermittent renewable generations, the economic operation under renewable uncertainties, the stability issue emerged from the high penetration of power electronic converters and the cybersecurity issue with the sophisticated control and communication networks. This seminar will present advanced control strategies for the above challenges. First, decentralized/distributed power management strategies are proposed for hybrid energy storage systems to compensate power fluctuations. Next, distributed and robust energy management strategies are proposed for economic operation of networked microgrid communities under uncertainties. Then, composite nonlinear control strategies are proposed to stabilize microgrids with high penetration of power electronic converters even under large signal disturbances. Finally, resilient distributed control strategies are proposed for frequency/voltage regulation under cyberattacks. The proposed works provide a more economic, stable and resilient solution for future sustainable power systems.
