The theory of hybrid control systems and its application perspective in electric power systems

In this paper, taking the architecture and configuration of hybrid control systems (HCS) as a key gist some concepts, characteristics and properties of HCS are discussed in depth. Meanwhile the hybrid characteristics and the related issues of electric power systems are briefly analyzed so that the advantages and originalities of HCS methodology in tackling some difficult problems of optimizing schedule and stabilized control for large scale electric power systems are manifested. Thus the modeling and the optimizing control of large scale hybrid electric power systems (REPS) are further addressed and studied. Finally a brief conclusion and some remarks are given to look forward to the application perspective of the theory of HCS in large scale hybrid electric power systems and other complex systems.
