Study on emergency control based on Regional frequency response model

Frequency stability refers to the ability of a power system to maintain steady frequency following a severe system upset resulting in a significant imbalance between generation and load. The rate of frequency change (df/dt) is an instantaneous indicator of power deficiency and can incipient recognition of power imbalance. The new method presented in this paper assumes the application of the WAMS as a base for their successful implementation. The adaptive scheme aims to extract the relevant power system parameters from on-line measurements. Therefore, the scheme can adapt its sensitivity to the current operating conditions, eliminating the need for many assumptions that have to make when tuning the conventional local scheme. In the predictive step, this model is used to estimate a frequency trajectory following a disturbance. The proposed scheme uses the local frequency rate information to adapt the load shedding behavior to the size and location of the experienced disturbance. Based on this prediction it can be determined whether emergency UFLS control actions are necessary.
