This paper presents a novel online data-driven Koopman-inspired method for secondary voltage and frequency control in microgrids with grid-forming and grid-following sources. The proposed method does not require any warm-up training and guarantees bounded-input-bounded-output (BIBO) stability as well as asymptotic stability under mild conditions. The method estimates the Koopman state space model adaptively to effectively handle microgrid nonlinearity and uncertainty. To demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of their proposed identification and control method, the authors conducted case studies on 4-bus and 13-bus microgrid test systems subject to changes in operating conditions or large disturbances such as microgrid mode transitions, generation/load variations, measurement noises, and time delays. The results show that the proposed method is more accurate, has faster convergence speed, and is more computationally efficient than typical data-driven methods. This approach offers a practical solution for real-time secondary voltage and frequency control in microgrids without extensive offline modeling or tuning efforts which can lead to improved power quality, reliability, and resilience against disturbances. This paper contributes to the growing body of research on data-driven control methods for renewable energy systems.

Data-Driven Koopman-Inspired Method for Secondary Voltage and Frequency Control in Microgrids

Microgrids are becoming increasingly important as a reliable, resilient, and efficient means of providing power to communities. As such, there is an increasing need for effective methods of controlling the voltage and frequency of microgrid systems. This paper presents a novel online data-driven Koopman-inspired method for secondary voltage and frequency control in microgrids with grid-forming and grid-following sources. The proposed method does not require any warm-up training and guarantees bounded-input-bounded output (BIBO) stability as well as asymptotic stability under mild conditions.

Background

In order to ensure that microgrid systems operate reliably, it is necessary to maintain stable voltages and frequencies within the system. This can be achieved through primary or secondary control mechanisms. Primary control involves adjusting active or reactive power injections from generators while secondary control adjusts loads or capacitor banks to maintain desired voltages or frequencies. Traditional approaches for secondary control rely on offline modeling which requires extensive tuning efforts that can lead to suboptimal performance when operating conditions change due to disturbances such as load variations or mode transitions from islanded operation back into grid connected operation.

Proposed Methodology

To address these issues, this paper proposes an online data driven Koopman inspired approach for secondary voltage and frequency control in microgrids with both grid forming (GF) and grid following (GF) sources without requiring any warm up training period prior to implementation. The proposed method uses an adaptive estimation algorithm based on the Koopman operator theory which allows it to effectively handle nonlinearity, uncertainty, measurement noise, time delays etc., associated with real world microgrid systems without needing extensive offline modeling efforts beforehand.

The authors conducted case studies on 4 bus and 13 bus test systems subject to changes in operating conditions or large disturbances such as microgrid mode transitions, generation/load variations, measurement noises, time delays etc., in order demonstrate the effectiveness of their proposed identification and control method compared with traditional methods such as linear quadratic regulator (LQR). The results show that their proposed method was able to achieve faster convergence speed than LQR while also being more accurate than typical data driven methods due its ability to effectively handle nonlinearity associated with real world microgrid systems without needing extensive offline modeling efforts beforehand.. Furthermore they showed that their proposed approach offers improved power quality reliability resilience against disturbances compared with traditional approaches due its BIBO stability guarantee under mild conditions .
