Decentralized two-level excitation control of multimachine power systems

Abstract A two-level decentralized scheme for the excitation control of multimachine power systems is presented. The control strategy is based on decomposing the control signal for each machine into two components generated by controllers at two different levels. At the first level, controllers are designed to optimize the performance of each generating unit, totally ignoring the couplings among the machines. The second control components are chosen to reduce the machine performance degradations due to the presence of interactions. With the developed two-level control scheme each machine is controlled entirely from its own state. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by a numerical example involving a four-generator system.
