A Feedback Linearization Based Unified Power Flow Controller Internal Controller for Power Flow Control

摘要

This article presents a feedback linearization based controller design methodology for a unified power flow controller to achieve rapid reference signal tracking in the internal control level. Feedback linearization is a non-linear control technique based on the differential geometry theory and overcomes the drawback of traditional linear proportional-integral control, which is typically tuned for one specific operating condition. In this article, feedback linearization control is developed for the unified power flow controller dynamic model via an appropriate coordinate transformation, and linear quadratic regulator control is then applied on the transformed linear system. The proposed control is validated via a detailed device-level simulation on an 11-bus system and a large scale simulation on the IEEE 118-bus and 300-bus systems. The proposed control is benchmarked against proportional-integral control.
