Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of load frequency control stability analysis technology, and in particular, relates to a stability analysis method for a load frequency control system that takes into account the participation of electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Load frequency control is a crucial element in maintaining frequency stability and power balance in power systems. With the widespread application of communication networks in cyber-physical power systems, time delays are inevitably introduced into the control loop, which weakens system dynamic performance and threatens stability. Especially in power systems containing electric vehicles, frequent charging and discharging further exacerbates the system's nonlinear and time-varying characteristics, making time-delay-dependent stability analysis more complex.

[0003] Existing research mainly employs two types of methods: one is frequency domain analysis based on eigenvalues, which is suitable for constant delays but struggles to handle time-varying delays; the other is time domain analysis based on Lyapunov functionals. To reduce conservatism, researchers have proposed methods such as augmented functionals, delay-decomposition functionals, and delay-product functionals. However, these methods typically use a single Lyapunov functional across the entire time delay interval, making it difficult to reflect the dynamic changes in the time delay across different intervals.

[0004] A patent application with publication number CN119448328A discloses a stability analysis method for time-delay load frequency control considering electric vehicle access. This method falls under the technical field of load frequency control stability analysis, including: establishing a nominal load frequency control model for the load frequency control system using model reconstruction based on the generation characteristics of electric vehicles and distributed power sources; establishing a deterministic load frequency control model for the load frequency control system based on the fluctuations in the state of charge of electric vehicles; introducing auxiliary polynomials to construct two types of improved relaxation matrix functions; combining multiple integrals; and using the Lyapunov stability analysis method and the Bessel-Legendre inequality to obtain the asymptotic stability criterion for the nominal load frequency control system and the robust stability criterion for the uncertain load frequency control system, respectively; and completing the stability analysis of the time-delay load frequency control. This patent analyzes the entire time delay interval based on a unified Lyapunov functional structure, implicitly assuming that the system has consistent dynamic characteristics across different delay intervals, making it difficult to characterize the differences in the system's dynamic behavior when the time delay function changes across different intervals. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the issue that existing stability analysis methods typically employ a single Lyapunov functional across the entire time delay interval, making it difficult to reflect the dynamic changes in time delay across different intervals. Therefore, this invention proposes a stability analysis method for a load frequency control system that considers the participation of electric vehicles.

[0007] S1. Construct a dynamic model of a single-area load frequency control system that includes electric vehicles, wind power, and time-varying time delays. The dynamic model includes the output power difference of electric vehicles, the output power variation of wind power, and the time-varying time delay function. ; S2. Based on the preset upper bound of time delay and interval division parameters, establish a piecewise Lyapunov functional based on time delay intervals, and use the corresponding Lyapunov matrix for different time delay sub-intervals. S3. Using the zero-equality method combined with the piecewise Lyapunov functional, estimate the integral term that appears after differentiating the Lyapunov functional and combining it with the integral inequality, and derive the time-delay-related stability criterion; the stability criterion is expressed in the feasible form of a set of linear matrix inequalities; S4. Solve the linear matrix inequalities to verify the satisfaction of the stability criterion. If satisfied, the load frequency control system containing electric vehicles is determined to be stable, and the maximum time-delay margin of the system is calculated and output; S5. Analyze the relationship between PI controller parameters and time delay margin through simulation.

[0008] Further, in step S1, constructing the dynamic model of the single-region load frequency control system includes the following steps: S11. Define the state vector of the control system, with the following expression: ,in, For frequency deviation, For the mechanical power output of the generator, For valve opening, This indicates the output power deviation of electric vehicles. For state variables; S12. Construct the system state equations, the expression of which is: ;in, Represents a known real matrix. Represents a known real matrix. Indicates the system status. Represents a known real matrix. Indicates a disturbance input; S13. Introduce time-varying delay function The time-varying time-delay function satisfy , , All are constants; S14. The system state equation is reconstructed, and the reconstructed expression is:

[0009] In the formula, , , All are block matrices.

[0010] Further, in step S2, candidate Lyapunov functionals are constructed: , The piecewise Lyapunov functional based on time delay intervals is expressed as follows:

[0011] In the formula, It is a time-varying time-delay function. and For the divided time-delay sub-intervals, The upper limit of the time lag, For additional integral functional terms.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned The expressions are as follows:

[0014]

[0015] In the formula, ; , , , ( =1,2,3) are all positive definite matrices. Represents a state combination vector. This represents a given computation function. Represents a state combination vector. Indicates the system at time 10:00 s The state vector; The The expression is: .

[0016] In the formula, , It is a symmetric positive definite matrix. These represent time and integration variables, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, step S1 also includes a dynamic model of the electric vehicle system and the wind turbine generator, expressed as:

[0018]

[0019] In the formula, and These correspond to the time constant and gain of the electric vehicle system, respectively. Let be the time constant of the wind power system. and These represent the changes in output power of wind turbine generator sets and wind power, respectively.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S3, the stability criterion is derived using the zero equality method combined with piecewise Lyapunov functional derivation, specifically including: for a given constant... There exist symmetric positive definite matrices and arbitrary matrices. , The symmetric positive definite matrix includes: , , , , ,

[0021] Conditions met:

[0023] Furthermore, in step S5, the simulated system parameters satisfy: , , , , , , Participation factors of governor and turbine And the participation factors of electric vehicles ,satisfy This ensures that the total control quantity is reasonably distributed between these two parts; the time-varying delay parameter satisfies... .

[0024] Furthermore, the expression for the PI controller is:

[0026] Furthermore, the integral inequality is the Bessel-Legendre inequality or the Wirtinger inequality, used to estimate the integral terms in the functional derivative.

[0027] A load frequency control system employs the stability analysis method described above for a load frequency control system considering electric vehicle participation. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention captures more time-delay information by constructing different Lyapunov functionals within different time-delay intervals, and incorporating time-delay product terms into these functionals, thus eliminating the need for a single Lyapunov functional (LKF) covering the entire time-delay interval as in the past. 2. By combining Lyapunov functionals with the zero-equation method, a novel time-delay-related stability criterion suitable for single-region load frequency control systems for electric vehicles is derived. The method of this invention abandons the traditional approach of using a single, fixed functional across the entire time-delay interval, reducing the conservatism of the criterion and obtaining maximum time-delay margin, providing a less conservative basis for stability analysis and control design of load frequency control systems containing electric vehicles.

[0028] 2. This invention combines the inverse convex combination lemma and second-order integral inequalities (such as the second-order Bessel-Legendre inequality) to handle the cross terms and integral terms in the derivative of a functional. This allows for a more precise estimation of the integral term after the functional is differentiated, thereby reducing the conservatism of the criterion and enhancing its applicability to time-varying delay conditions. It is suitable for load frequency control systems where time delay fluctuations are caused by the charging and discharging of electric vehicles. Attached Figure Description
