Abstract:A data-driven LFC system is proposed to address the performance issues caused by uncertain factors such as random delay, packet loss, and load fluctuations in load frequency control. By establishing a decentralized control structure, optimizing feedback variables, and proposing a selective event triggered controller, communication resource consumption has been reduced and the operational efficiency of the system has been improved. The simulation results show that compared with H ∞ control and PSO-PI control strategies, SETC control not only shortens PTFD by 76.7% and 23.2%, but also reduces FRST by 64.5% and 17.2%, respectively. The design of SETC not only balances the relationship between reduced communication and system performance, but also demonstrates excellent recovery capability and robustness, which is of great significance for improving the flexibility and reliability of power systems.
