Event-driven Fast Frequency Response Based on Fuzzy Logic Controller

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) brings about critical challenges on power system frequency stability. More specially, the RESs are integrated into power systems through electronic converters, and provide less inertia to counter frequency deviations after contingencies. This paper proposes an event-driven fast frequency response (EFFR) approach based on fuzzy logic controller (FLC), in order to improve the frequency control under serious contingencies. An event-driven control framework is established, in which the contingencies and corresponding disturbance power are monitored. And once the specific contingencies are detected, the EFFR scheme will be actuated rapidly. Then, the FLC is employed to attain the control commands for EFFR, which are the required extra power of controlled units. Using the disturbance power and frequency deviation as input variables, the FLC can consider both the occurred contingencies and current power system states simultaneously. A case study is carried out to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
