A Practical Distributed Finite-Time Control Scheme for Power System Transient Stability.

Power system transient stability control is gaining huge attention in present time. Inspired by the consistency theory of multi-agent system, a distributed finite-time frequency control framework is presented to improve the frequency dynamic of the transient process by adjusting the steam valving. The stability of the proposed distributed frequency control scheme is ensured by including the Lyapunov-based constraints. The communication delay is fully considered in the deigned distributed frequency control framework which has no limitations on communication delay by fully utilizing the local information. Meanwhile, the proposed cyber-physical topology divides the power system into several clusters according to the physical coupling between generators. The designed distributed control scheme based on the proposed cyber-physical topology owns the capability to defend denial-of-service (DoS) attacks which may influence the performance of distributed control scheme, which is also presented in theoretical proof. The designed voltage control based on the direct feedback linearization method can be applied to coordinate all existing frequency controls, in the premise of the system stability. The performance of the proposed control scheme is evaluated under the cases of different communication delays and DoS attacks through the simulation on New England 39-bus system.
