dc.description.abstract | Over the last decade, power generation from renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro and solar energies have substantially increased globally and in South Africa. Of all the renewable energy sources, wind energy appears to be the most promising, considering design and costs. However, due to the intermittent nature of wind, the increased integration of wind energy into existing power systems raises several control challenges related to load frequency control (LFC) and tie-line power system stability. The stability of modern power systems, incorporating wind energy generations, will be significantly enhanced with the development of LFC strategies based on modern control theory, which is the focus of this research. This thesis presents the design, modelling and analysis, of two LFC control strategies for interconnected power systems, having wind power integrations. The first design is an optimal control strategy, based on error minimization through full state vector feedback, for a two-area interconnected power system consisting of hydro-thermal generations. The second design is a model predictive control (MPC) strategy, based output vector feedback of system state parameters, for a two-area interconnected power system consisting of thermal generations in each area. Both designs include the active power support from doubly fed induction generator based wind turbines (DFIG) in conjunction with the combined effort of a thyristor control phase shifter (TCPS) and super conducting magnetic energy storage unit (SMES). Both control strategies were simulated in MATLAB Simulink and positive results were obtained. The results show that the optimal control strategy is enhanced with power integrations using DFIG based wind turbines combined with the TCPS-SMES units and the MPC strategy is very robust and provides better dynamic performances even with parameter variations and generation rate restrictions. | en_US |
