Abstract

In this paper, a nonlinear fractional-order PI (NL-FO-PI) controller is proposed for primary frequency control (PFC) of a wind farm based on the squirrel cage induction generator. The new structure composites a fractional-order operator and nonlinear function to achieve better control performance for the PFC system. The benchmarking process is demonstrated by investigating the performance of fractional-order PI (FO-PI) and nonlinear PI (NL-PI) controllers. Initially, the controller is applied to a single-area power system for design and stability study and then extended to the two-area interconnected wind farm to validate the applicability in the more realistic power system. The proposed control method ensures the balance of power and keeps the system frequency within a suitable range. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed NL-FO-PI controller provides less percentage overshoot, settling time, rise time, and peak time than other controllers.

1. Introduction

1.1. Background and Motivation

In modern power network stabilization, the amount of power generated and that consumed must always be balanced. The imbalance between the load and the power generation leads to system instability. Therefore, the power system should have enough power reserve to support the imbalance of power and maintain the power system stability [1, 2]. The frequency stability is affected by the electric vehicles [3]. Participation in the service system is becoming more and more demanded for a decentralized power generation [4]. Therefore, large-scale wind energy conversion systems are required to provide primary frequency control (PFC) [2, 5, 6]. The main objective of PFC is to keep the frequency within the specified limits required by several grid operators [7]. To achieve the PFC objectives, the wind turbines must have a sufficient reserve of kinetic energy stored in the rotating mass of their blades or using a storage system [8]. The high performances of the PFC are obtained using the superior and advanced controller. Several control methods are being proposed for the wind power plants [9, 10]. In the study by Cherkaoui et al. [2], the PI-Fuzzy-PI was implemented for best response compared to linear control. The nonlinearities of the power systems [11] in LFC include the frequency dead band and rate constraint of the generator, which required robust nonlinear control and advanced control systems.

1.2. Literature Review

In recent years, the advancement in the research field of advanced control is oriented towards the use of fractional calculus to improve the performance of the control loop, which leads to rising of noninteger controllers more flexible than others [12]. The fractional-order PI (FO-PI) controller, which is a generalization of the classical PI corrector, has been proposed in many works [12–14]. The control system based on fractional-order integral and derivative is investigated in many fields of engineering such as quadrotor [15] and renewable energy conversion system [13, 14, 16] to ensure fast convergence to the desired value and high precision. The fractional-order operators offer the additional parameters (two degrees of freedom) for more flexibility of the controller and additional performance in the control design. The fractional-order fuzzy PI (FOFPI) controller can be used to improve the control performance of a grid-connected Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion System [17–25] and to establish a stable operation of the electric system with automatic generation control [26]. Another well-known fractional control algorithm is the fractional-order PID controller (FOPID) used in many applications to overcome the problem related to the dynamic system response and performances [27, 28]. In references [29, 30], a variable coefficient fractional-order controller is proposed. This controller type can be used for renewable system control [31, 32] and intelligent control systems and to improve performance of building structure vibration [33]. The stability of FOC can be verified using the root-locus method [34, 35]. But, the FO-PI cannot sufficiently improve the performance (response time, rise time, and stability) and robustness against noise and interference [36–38], which demands the use of the Nonlinear PI (NL-PI) controller with the fractional-order operator [39]. Unlike the conventional PI controller, which can solve the problem of constant disturbance rejection only, the NL-PI controller has the ability to reject disturbance of arbitrary shape. The combination of FO-PI and NL-PI in one structure offers a superior performance [40]. In references [41, 42], the stability analysis of NL-FO-PI demonstrates the system stability and the convergence of the system variables to their desired values. The real-time implementations of FO-PI and NL-PI controllers are given in references [43–45].

1.3. Contribution

The comparison with the FO-PI and NL-PI controllers shows a clear improvement in the performance of response time and stability of the proposed NL-FO-PI controller (less percentage overshoot, settling time, rise time, and peak time). The best response can be obtained using the optimization algorithms [46]. This proposed control method allows the WF based on the squirrel cage asynchronous generator (SCAG) to participate effectively in the primary frequency control.

The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (i)Unlike the conventional NL-PI and FO-PI controllers, the proposed control method offers additional degree of freedom for more flexibility(ii)Designing of the new NL-FO-PI controller for primary frequency control, which has the same advantages of the classical PI control such as simplicity of design and easy for implementation(iii)Ensuring a primary reserve for a quick maintaining of power balance and offering of high convergence rate and accuracy for frequency stabilization(iv)Developing the model of the two-area power network for frequency control using the wind farm active power

1.4. Paper Organization

In Section 2, we present test system modeling. The proposed NL-FO-PI controller is applied to primary frequency control in Section 3 with its design and synthesis structure. Section 4 presents the simulation results for primary frequency control. Finally, the conclusion is given in Section 5.

2. Test System Modeling

The power system modeled in this paper consists of the wind farm aggregated model and power network model. It is modeled using MATLAB/Simulink software. The wind farm, presented in Figure 1, is based on the squirrel cage induction generator connected into the grid. The rated power of WF is 90 MW. The WTs of WF are identical (same operating points of the WTs) and receive the identical wind velocity (same incoming wind speed). Therefore, the adequate model for this kind of WF is the full-aggregated model (FAM) [47, 48]. All WTs within WF and their internal electrical network are modeled using one equivalent WT (Equi_WT).

The grid is an extensive system divided into areas. Each area consists of a steam turbine equipped with a synchronous generator as shown in Figure 2. The power system consists of two 200-MVA synchronous generators. Each generator incorporates an automatic voltage regulator to control the reactive power flow and a speed control system for active power flow control. The balance power and the constant generator speed are achieved for load power references of P_ref-1 = 0.674 pu and P_ref-2 = 0.6739 pu. The increase of load power (P_L is connected) leads to deceleration of generators and frequency drop. In this case, the WF must take part to maintain the frequency constant and ensure the balanced power.

3. Primary Frequency Control Design

3.1. Primary Frequency Control and the Grid Code Requirements

According to grid codes, the wind farms must remain connected to the grid and participate in frequency control. European TSO (ENTSO-E) imposes for the WT to satisfy the characteristic of the active power response versus the frequency deviation and time for full activation presented in Figure 3.

(a)

(b)

A fast active power response (injection) is required immediately after a frequency deviation which demands a regulating reserve of active power [49]. The primary reserve is intended to be the additional power capacity and created at the deloaded power operation (P_del), as shown in Figure 4 [2]. It is activated automatically after a few seconds of an imbalance between the demand and the supply of electricity on the grid. The objective of the primary reserve is to quickly maintain a balance between energy production and consumption and to stabilize the frequency at the nominal value.

3.2. Fractional-Order Preliminaries

Fractional calculus is a generalization of integral and derivative operators to obtain the fundamental noninteger operator . The continuous integral differential operator is defined aswhere is the FO operator.

This operator is applied to a function which leads to the extended Caputo form that is defined for the FO derivative as follows:where m is the first integer value greater than q and , , is the initial time, and is the gamma function.

In the design of the proposed fractional-order nonlinear PI controller (6), the FO integral presented in (3) is used.

Implementation of fractional-order operators is achieved using the CRONE toolbox [50]. Then, FO terms in the proposed controller (4) are approximated using 5-order Oustaloup’s modified filter, and the frequency range is set as 0.01 to 100 rad/s.

The Laplace transform of the Caputo fractional derivative integral is given as follows:

The design of the nonlinear PI controller can be achieved using the nonlinear function (5):

3.3. Nonlinear Fractional Order PI Controller Design

Design of the NL-FO-PI controller is started with the design of the PI controller and the tuning of the PI gains using the trial and error method to obtain the acceptable frequency and active power responses. But the robust design requires the use of the nonlinear PI controller to overcome the problem related to system nonlinearity and disturbances.

For the fast response, the integrator term of the NL-PI controller should be replaced by the fractional-order operator to obtain a robust structure of the NL-FO-PI controller with the superior performance. The superiority is reached using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine the optimal value of the fractional-order operator defined in reference [46].

The design layout of the FO-NL-PI controller is based on the structure of the NL function versus the fractional-order integrator, as shown in (6) and illustrated in the bloc scheme of Figure 5, where kp and ki are the proportional gain and the integral gain of the speed controller, sign (e) is the sign function of error, parameters “ri” and “rp” are the exponents of the error absolute value |e|, “α” is the operator of the fractional-order integral, and “s” is the operator of Laplace transformation:

4. Analysis of Control System Response

From a wind farm point of view, it is difficult to determine the system transfer function of a real power network-connected wind farm because of the unknown droop of the grid generator units, the dynamic of the nonlinear load, and the system complexity. But, approximately, the system transfer function for one grid generator unit can be modeled using the rotor inertia (M = 2 Hg) and damping coefficient (D) presented in Figure 2.

The fractional-order operator used in (6) is investigated to adjust the output dynamics for more performance compared to the NL-PI controller, which is the main advantage of the proposed FO-NL-PI controller. Figure 6 presents the feedback system of the integral side controller to understand the effect of the fractional-order operator considering the fractional-order integral and nonlinear function. The output versus time is plotted in Figure 7 for the values of “ri” between 0 and 2, when the variable step is passed through the transfer function of one generator unit.

(a)

(b)

In order to enhance the performance of control and show the high potential of the FO-NL-PI controller given by the nonlinear term, the NL-PI without integral operator term and gain (ki) should be studied. The step response of the nonlinear function in the closed loop of the nonlinear feedback system given in Figure 8 is plotted in Figure 9 for different values of “ri.” From this result, it can be concluded that the accuracy and stability of the nonlinear function are verified for some values of “ri.”

4.1. Stability Margins of FO-PI

Stability margins of FO-PI are developed to determine the necessary and sufﬁcient conditions of α. From the Bode diagram of Figure 10 and data given in Table 1, it can be seen that, for the positive magnitude margin, the phase margin is positive for limited values of [0.9, 1.4] (Pm > 0), which confirms the asymptotic stability of the system in closed loop. For the best stability, the minimum values of the phase margin (Pm) are considered satisfactory around 45 in open loop and 90 in closed loop. These limits can be investigated during the process of the FO-PI controller.

(b)

4.2. Step Response of NL-FO-PI

Considering the control system and the speed (frequency in pu) transfer function of the plant, the control feedback system used for the stability analysis and to evaluate the controller response is given in Figure 11 for the following parameters M = 2 ∗ 3.7, D = 1, kp = 1.1, and ki = 0.6.

The output response for different values of α is presented in Figure 12 to show that the controller ensures the best accuracy and the fast response for a specific value of α, which makes the NL-FO-PI more efficient than the conventional NL-PI controller. But, the determination of the optimal value of α demands the use of the optimization algorithms to obtain the adequate response [46].

The superiority of the proposed NL-FO-PI controller and the aforementioned analyses study is better understood in a real-example application for primary frequency control as explained in the following section.

5. Simulation Results for Primary Frequency Control

Using the wind farm system (Figure 1) connected into the two areas’ power system (Figure 2), simulation results are carried out in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed NL-FO-PI controller performance compared to that given by the conventional FO-PI and NL-PI controllers, which are validated experimentally in the literature [43–45]. The benchmarking process aims to use FO-PI and NL-PI controllers like indicators of performance to evaluate the superiority of the proposed controller in the application of primary frequency control. The PSO functionality is elaborated using MATLAB/Simulink software to optimize the proposed controller parameters. The simulation can be run using the sim command to generate the outputs of the model (current fitness) as explained [46].

To prove the superior performance of the proposed controller for frequency control, a quantitative comparison is considered based on performance indexes of the integral square error (ISE), the integral time square error (ITSE), the integral absolute error (IAE), and the integral time absolute error (ITAE) defined in [40]. Table 2 shows the comparison based on performance indexes between the proposed NL-FO-PI, NL-PI, and FO-PI controllers. From this table, it can be seen that the proposed has excellent performance indexes compared to the other controllers, which are considered as the best ones and have satisfied the criteria of minimum performance indexes. These values of performance indexes demonstrate the minimal deviation from the dead band and best satisfaction of the grid code requirements.

The settling time and the maximum deviation of the frequency-power response, given in Table 3, are derived from Figures 13 and 14. From this table, it can be seen that the immediate response and the minimum deviation from the dead band are offered by the proposed controller.

6. Conclusion

In this work, a continuous FO-NL-PI control technique has been successfully applied to the wind farm participated in primary frequency control and connected into the two-area power system. The use of nonlinear PI with the fractional-order integral operator not only improved the grid side power/frequency response but also reduced the time response of the wind turbine mechanical components. Simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed controller and showed robustness in improving the frequency stability under a 10% step increase of active load demand. It is observed that the proposed controller has the following characteristics:(i)Ensures the minimal performance indexes, which means that the minimum frequency deviation outside the dead band of [49.8, 50](ii)Satisfies the grid code requirements for frequency control(iii)Improves settling time of the system to achieve the maximum deviation of frequency and power
