Primary frequency response based rescheduling for enhancing microgrid resilience

Abstract

The existing microgrid operation schemes do not consider the dynamic performance of frequency in the islanded operation of microgrids. When an islanded microgrid encounters a disturbance, the sudden power mismatch could impose security risks or even a system collapse. To address such a challenge, this paper proposes the primary frequency response rescheduling (PFRR) approach. For a certain operation interval, the PFRR will optimally reschedule the distributed generators (DGs) with non-zero mechanical inertia and adjust the battery power. And the objective is to limit the rate-of-change-of-frequency (ROCOF) and to maintain the post-disturbance frequency nadir above a prescribed threshold. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified by a case study on the IEEE 123-node test feeder system and the time-domain simulation in MATLAB Simulink.
