Abstract

This letter proposes a novel decentralized event-triggered control algorithm to replace the conventional periodic sampling/communication mechanism of automatic generation control (AGC) for multi-area power systems. For each control area, event-triggering rules that only rely on local measurements are designed to decide the sampling/communication instants. Further, a strictly positive dwell time is introduced to exclude Zeno behaviours. The L∞-stability of the multi-area power system with the developed event-triggered control law and essentially bounded net load disturbances is studied, and a sufficient stability criterion is established. Finally, case studies demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.
