Abstract
The original model-based wide-area damping control (WADC) is difficult to obtain good damping performance due to the complex structure of interconnected power systems. In this paper, an improved data-driven model-free adaptive control (ID-MFAC) algorithm is proposed to design WADC for interconnected power systems with stochastic communication delays. First, the multiple-input multiple-output power system can be decoupled as multiple single-input single-output subsystems by considering controller interactions and system disturbances. Second, a step-size vector is designed to adjust the pseudo-partial derivative and make the algorithm more flexible by considering both input and output data adequately. Furthermore, an adaptive delay compensator is designed to compensate stochastic communication delays. Last, simulations are conducted to verify that the ID-MFAC algorithm can efficiently suppress multiple inter-area oscillations modes under various stochastic communication delays.
