Growth in electricity consumption
• Transmission investment has lagged generation investment and led to
several bottlenecks in the Eastern interconnect and Western interconnect.
• Limited transmission impacting reliability and cost, preventing full use of
renewables
• Inflexible capabilities leads to inefficient investment in grid infrastructure

Distributed Contextual Control: Frequency
Regulation for High Penetration of Wind
Generation
Maryam H. Variani, Kevin Tomsovic
Motivation
• Decline of the Eastern Interconnection frequency response of about 60-70 MW/0.1HZ/year.
• NERC new reliability standard: BAL003- balancing area frequency response obligation.
Today:
Each BA must balance loads and
resources within its borders

Introduction
• Frequency regulation at conventional units needs to be modified to cope with high penetration of wind and PV.
• Studies show that it may be both technically and economicallyfeasible for wind plants to supply regulation under somecircumstances.
• Two-Level Control Structure
o To allow high penetration (e.g., 50%) of renewable resources,conventional controls need to be replaced by a simpler structure.
o The proposed structure consists of local control operating within aglobal context of situational awareness at different levels.
Contextual Control
Selects one of a finite number of system-level
control goals that best reflect needs based on
overall system status at a given moment.
Local Control
Individual components andloads operate in a manner to follow somedesired trajectory based on local observationsto manage deviations.
Flatness-based approach is well adopted to control systems
in two levels of planning, trajectory generation, and
tracking the desired trajectories.

Flatness Based AGC
• Flatness-based approach is applied to automatic generation
control(AGC) of multi-area systems with wind generation units.
• In two level control structure, secondary control action represents
local control and the reference trajectory , to be tracked by the local
control, are determined in the contextual control.

Comments
• Two level control structure based on flat systems properties is studied for synchronous and
DFIG machines for frequency regulation.o Flatness-based AGC for synchronous machines Two level control consisting of local and contextual controllers substitutes the ACE-based AGC.
Decoupling into n linear controllable sub-systems in canonical form results in decentralized control.
o Flatness-based DFIG
Two level control consisting of trajectory generation and trajectory tracking replaces the field oriented
based method to control active and reactive power.
Trajectories are generated through algebraic equations rather than PI controllers.
Linear control methods such as pole placement and LQR replace the PI controller to track the desired
states.
• The two developed models build a generic AGC with two level controls at each machine
working in coordination with higher level controls for planning.
• The model can easily be adopted to new market structures.

Distributed Damping Control:Communication Considerations
May Mahmoudi Kevin Tomsovic
Wide Area Control of Power Grid
• The addition of wide-area feedback control to frequently usedcontrols is an effective additional layer of defense against blackouts.
• Centralized Control : a single controller is able to measure all thesystem outputs, compute the optimal control solution, and applythat action to all actuators in the network, within one samplingperiod.
As power networks are large-scale systems, both computationally and geographically, a Centralized Wide
Area Controller is practically difficult to implement.

Non-Centralized Controllers

Angle Response for Uniform Test System
• System : 30x30 Mesh structure(Total of 900 generators)
• Disturbance : 0.5 pu power pulse for 0.5 sec on the generator in the center of the mesh
42
Remarks
• From control point of view distributed LQR control problem forPDEs achieves optimal solution, while for discrete models the solutions are sub-optimal and still is an open problem.
• For the given test system we can do the discretization in a way that matches the generators location which makes the controller application to the discrete system feasible. Application of this controller to an arbitrary system is a challenging problem that will
be part of our future work.
43
Distributed Controls – Scalable
• Objectives
o Scalable controls through distributed actuation, on-line measurements, modeling approximations and adapting to
conditions.
• Innovations
o Jointly design controller, communications and sensor needs by enforcing some regularity on connections.
• Example
Two-area system communication structures and
“sparsified” dynamics matrices
44
Two Area System with Communication Links
• Communication link in examples here assumes full state information but more structure can be imposed.
• Control design uses LQR but other methods possible

gleaned from a few measurements.
• Best approach is to co-design communication and control

Robust Controls – Fault Resilience
• Objectiveso Reliable controls considering
communication failures, sensor
limits, and unavailability of actuator,
(e.g., renewable resource
variability).
• Innovationso Reconfiguration without need for
redesign, i.e., fault hiding.
Virtual sensor
Virtual actuator
• Example – Virtual Actuator

Virtual Actuator
49
Comments
o With our approach damping of WADC system recovered
without the need to redesign the nominal WADC in case of
faults in actuators.
o We consider the sensor faults as communication failures,
cyber-attacks, significant delay in communication links or
failures in the measurement devises.
o Design of the reconfiguration block is independent of the
nominal controller and there is no need to redesign the
nominal controller.
50
Final Summary Comments
o Wide area control is needed to provide flexibility and integrate
renewables
o Wide area controls should be:
Distributed and modular but operating within a context (e.g., flat controls)
Robust to sensor, communication and actuator loss (e.g., virtual
sensors and actuators).
Make efficient use of communications (e.g., distributed controllers)

Discussion
Example Value of Improved Controls
• Two 500kV AC lines and +/- 400kV DC line
Designed for transfer of 2000 MW AC and 1440 MW DC
Actual capacity was 1300 MW AC due to instability caused by AVRs
Power system stabilizers allowed increase to 1800 MW AC
Dynamic brake added at Chief Joe allowed up to 2500 MW AC
• Transmission upgrade – third AC line and DC upgrades
AC capacity today about 4800 MW (primarily voltage)
DC capacity today about 3000 MW
1990s work by DOE and BPA on WAMS and WACS a direct result of
this type of need for improved controls.

Major Research Questions
• Information flow• What information is needed where?
• How much latency can be tolerated?
• Trade-off – more information leads to better decisions but slower response
• Control architecture Do all devices contribute to control?
For which phenomena do devices contribute (some fast and some slow)?
How much contribution is needed to ensure performance?
Trade-off – more devices contributing properly expands viable operating region but requires greater sophistication and cost
• Economics and optimization What functionality should come from markets and what by regulation?
Contributions from certain devices are more cost effective
Trade-off – greater optimization leads to lower cost but requires more voluntary sharing of information and but some services may not lend themselves to an efficient market structure
Design needs to be a series of trade-offs between communication needs, device sophistication, resiliency, speed of response, economic performance and device reliability vs. system reliability.
