A Cyber-Enabled Stabilizing Control Scheme for Resilient Smart Grid Systems

A parametric controller is proposed for transient stability of synchronous generators after the occurrence of a disturbance in the power grid. The proposed controller based on feedback linearization control theory relies on receiving timely phasor measurement unit (PMU) information from selected parts of the power grid to employ fast acting flywheels that are situated near synchronous generators. The local storage devices aim to balance a swing equation model of the synchronous generator to drive the associated rotor speed to stability. The advantages of the proposed controller include that it is tunable and integrates well with existing governor controls in contrast to other forms of PMU-based control. Further, a comparison is drawn between the proposed controller and recently proposed nonlinear controllers for transient stabilization. Numerical results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller when applied to the 39-bus 10-generator New England power system.
