Abstract

Solar thermal power generation shares technical characteristics with traditional thermal power generation. This enables rapid adjustment of turbine generator output to meet the demands of the power grid load for frequency modulation. However, fluctuations in light intensity lead to variations in interconnected power system parameters, posing challenges for load frequency control (LFC). In this study, we propose a Robust Distributed Model Predictive Control (RDMPC) method. This method achieves system trajectory tracking by solving the nominal system optimization problem. It also flexibly adjusts the weights of different Tube models to determine the optimal control law using the standard Tube online combination with various gain values. Additionally, we incorporate the states of adjacent areas into the feedback control law to achieve effective coordination between these areas. Using MATLAB/Simulink, we simulated the power system in two areas. Compared to standard Tube DMPC, our proposed algorithm effectively mitigates the impact of light intensity, enhances adjustment speed, reduces frequency fluctuation, and demonstrates superior control effectiveness.
