Consensus-Based Torque Control of Deloaded Wind DFIGs for Distributed and Fair Dynamic Dispatching

In this paper we aim to address the problem of dynamically dispatching a group of state-of-the-art deloaded wind generators (WGs) in a fair-sharing manner. We use the term dynamically since the WGs aim to dispatch themselves according to a varying committed WF power output. We first propose a leader-follower protocol whose execution guarantees asymptotically, two control objectives. These are 1) reaching asymptotic consensus on the utilization level of all WGs and 2) the total power output of the WGs asymptotically converges to the reference value. Thereafter, we combine singular perturbation and Lyapunov theory to prove that, under certain conditions, the proposed protocol will asymptotically converge to its equilibrium. Finally, we derive a cooperative Control Lyapunov Function-based (CLF) controller for the rotor side converter (RSC) of each WG that realizes the protocol in practice. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed protocol and the corresponding RSC controller design via simulations on the modified IEEE 24-bus RT system.
