Adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface control for multi-machine power system based on composite learning method and disturbance observer

Abstract

A composite learning dynamic surface control is proposed for a class of multi-machine power systems with uncertainties and external disturbances by using fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) and disturbance observer (DOB). The main characteristics of the proposed strategy are as follows: (1) The approximation ability of FLSs for nonlinear model of multi-machine power systems is enhanced considerably by using the composite learning method and providing additional correction information for the FLSs. These findings differ considerably from previous designs that focus directly on the system's tracking performance. (2) The filtering errors caused by the utilizations of the first-order low-pass filters in dynamic surface control (DSC) are compensated effectively by designing the compensating signals in the control law design process. (3) The compound disturbances including the FLSs' approximation error and external disturbances are estimated and mitigated by constructing DOB. Finally, the proposed control algorithm is verified on the StarSim Hardwarein-loop experimental platform, and the experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in suppressing disturbances and enhancing the robustness of the controller.
