【 摘 要 】

Stability of a standalone hybrid power system (HPS) in a smart grid is always a challenging task. Further, the operational stability of the power system depends on the associated communication infrastructure. Therefore, it is always crucial to pick up a controller that can assure system's stability along with performance, despite disturbances like (load and input wind variations) with communication delays. Present study focuses on reactive power management and voltage stability issues of an isolated HPS. The stability aspects of HPS are improved through reactive power compensation, by custom power devices like static var compensator. The control aspects of SVC as well as the whole hybrid system are taken care by H∞ linear matrix inequalities approach. Further, H-infinity control, Lyapunov stability along with linear matrix inequalities techniques estimate the delay boundary of controllers. The iterative performance of the proportional–integral–derivative controllers, and robust H∞ damping controller of the HPS, are designed through LMI approach. Later experimental study of the HPS is done, with a prototype model in dSPACE real-time control environment. In this case, dSPACE 1104 is added for data acquisition and control. Adaptability and robustness of the proposed controllers are verified under fluctuating loads and uncertain wind power input.
